al'khowarizmi is a variant of the last name of Muhammad ibn Mūsā al-Khwārizmī who was a Persian Islamic mathematician, astronomer, astrologer and geographer. The words algorism and algorithm stem from Algoritmi, the Latinization of his name. His name is also the origin of the Spanish word guarismo and of the Portuguese word algarismo, both meaning digit.
