C++ was originally called 'C With Classes' in 1978, and was renamed by its developer, Bjarne Stroustrup, in 1983. The new name literally meant 'the successor to C', although it should really have been called ++C (prefix increment) rather than C++ (postfix increment), since the former returns C+1 (the successor to C), while the latter returns C.
