Vanderbilt University, established in 1873, was named after Cornelius Vanderbilt, a wealthy philanthropist and railroad magnate who provided the initial endowment to create the university. The school's athletic teams adopted the nickname "Commodores" in honor of Vanderbilt's naval rank, reflecting both his maritime legacy and the university's connection to his name. The term also embodies the spirit of leadership and excellence that the university aims to promote in its students and athletes.
