The Little Dipper was not named after anybody.
Polaris, or the North Star, is always visible in the Northern Hemisphere. The entire sky rotates around it during the night. The Big and Little Dipper aka Big and Little Bear are visible, as Polaris is a part of the Little Dipper. Draco, Casseopia, and Capheus are also formations normally visible around the North Star. The other constellations vary with the seasons, see the star chart referenced.
Ursa Minor (also known as the Little Bear) is visible year-round in the Northern Hemisphere. It cannot be seen from the Southern Hemisphere. Within this constellation is an asterism called the Little Dipper. The last star in the handle of the Little Dipper is the North Star, officially called Polaris. If you can see the North Star, you can see the Little Dipper and you are looking at Ursa Minor.
