I don't know if anyone knows why Oasis named this song "Wonderwall," but it seems to be an allusion to the 1968 movie "Wonderwall" by Joe Massot. The soundtrack for it was composed by Beatle George Harrison. In the movie, a reclusive scientist finds light beaming through a hole in his wall. When he looks through it, he finds a beautiful model posing for her photographer boyfriend and becomes infatuated with her. As time goes on, the scientist makes more and more holes in the wall as the photo shoots continue, falling more and more in love with the girl.
If the song has anything to do with this plot point, I think it's a wonderful metaphor for discovering someone and falling in love with them. It happens slowly, it breaks down barriers, and it brings light to darkness. It's beautiful.
