Ada, Alice...
Interesting question, but it might just be a yellow volkswagon effect. Quickly looking at Wikipedia's list of languages, theres Babbage, Bertrand, Cecil, Darwin, Dylan, Escher, Euclid, Euler, Godel, Hume, Orwell, Tom, Zeno, and probably a few others I missed.
EDIT: Haskell and Pascal, how embarassing to miss those
- Tommah 5y agoalso Haskell and Pascal
- WJW 5y agoIt's a shame that Haskell Brooks Curry did not have any more names because all three of his names have already been used for programming languages by now.
- phreack 5y agoI was first introduced to programming with Pascal, can't believe I forgot about it until I saw your list.
- srcreigh 5y agoI also like to believe PageRank was named after Larry Page.

- zajio1am 5y agoIt is interesting that female-named languages from your examples generally use first-name, while male-named languages generally use surname.
