The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were named after Renaissance artists as a creative twist that combined their unique personalities with cultural references. The creators, Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird, chose well-known figures like Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello, and Raphael to give each turtle distinct traits and characteristics, reflecting the artists' contributions to art and culture. This naming convention added depth and humor to the characters, appealing to both children and adult audiences. Additionally, the juxtaposition of their Martial Arts skills with high art created a memorable and engaging contrast.
