do anyone know the history of programming language names? where they come from? a,b,c, java, python, scheme, prolog, ada, fortran, algol, cobol, assembly, pascal, lisp, perl, haskell, php, javascript, c#, ruby, c++ and so on.

Often the name is inspired by a previous lagnuage (that's the case of C++, which derives from C, which in turn has been named after B ...), but more often language inventor just picked a name he was liking for some reason.

Maybe you could be interested in the genealogy of programming languages.

I would suggest searching Wikipedia :)

But for Python I can answer the question, it comes from "Monty Python", the entertainment/comedy group - not the animal. In Python examples often there are references to Monty Python like "SPAMSPAMSPAM" and "NI NI NI" .
