Inventions Named After People
"The names for inventions have to come from somewhere. The name Slinky was chosen after its inventors browsed the dictionary. Other invention names may not be creative, but they definitely explain what the invention does (think “credit card”). But what to call an invention is almost as important as the invention itself, and this is a detail many inventors spend a lot of time brainstorming. Other inventors, however, simply choose to name their idea after themselves or a friend or even the person who inspired the invention. Here are a few inventions named after people."
SAXOPHONE
"Adolphe Sax created quite a few horn instruments during his life, but his most famous is the one that bears his name. His dream was to create an instrument with the workings of a woodwind- hence the reed- but with that iconic horn sound. The saxophone changed the face of music forever, even though it took a while to gain popularity. It remained a novelty instrument until the rise of jazz in the 1920s when musicians found it matched the sound of the new genre."READ MORE
