Edwin Hubble was a American astronomer, the Hubble telescope is named after him.
It was named after the famous scientist Edwin P. Hubble (1889-1953) because he was the one who made the discovery that our universe was expanding. The space telescope designed to replace Hubble around 2018 is named for the late NASA administrator James Webb (1906-1992).
The Hubble Space Telescope was named after Edwin Hubble, an American astronomer that discovered that galaxies outside of the Local Group are moving away from us at speeds proportional to their distances.

No, Edwin Hubble had nothing directly to do with the Hubble Telescope, it was named for him because he profoundly changed the understanding of the nature of the universe. Hubble died before the the physical exploration of space began. Hubble also created his own Hubble telescope back in 1929 but it is not the orbiting Hubble telescope. Go to the NASA website for more information.
Edwin P. Hubble is related to the Hubble space telescope because he suggested that we launch a telescope into space so they named it after Edwin's last name, Hubble.
