The tradition of namin something after another person does not apply to anatomy. The tradition there is to use latin which describes its function, appearance and/or location in the body. Except the men who wanted to name women's anatomy after themselves. Going as far as to make stuff up, and even name structures that weren't part of the female reproductive organs but merely seemed like it.
