Malcom is in Mrs Krelboyne's class hence the term

Krelboyne is taken from the geeky hero in Little Shop of Horrors, so it is probably just a homage to the film.

It is actually Krellbourne, the last name of the character Seymore from the little shop of horrors. It's figured Krellbournes is used to describe nerdy, social outcasts.
I believe it is Krell boys. The Krell is in reference to the Krell in the movie Forbidden Planet from the 1950's. The Krell were a highly intelligent advanced race that had previously inhabited the Forbidden Planet.
You are both sort of correct. The name is actually Krelboynes and is a take on past characters from pop culture. It was "invented" by the writers of the show using several variations of the word Krell from film and stage. In fact the name Seymour Krelbourne was invented from the film Forbidden Planet. Krell is often likened to a nerd, dork, dweeb, etc.
