A newton is called a newton because it is a measure of the force of gravity. And Sir Issac Newton was the first to notice a force tieing us to earth. As a scienist he named his observation after himself

One does not "have" Newtons, one "weighs" in Newtons. A Newton is a measure of force due to gravitational acceleration. Hence, an object or person has a mass, they also have a "weight" due to the gravitational acceleration of the planet they are on. Earth has a gravitational acceleration of 9.81m/s2.
