You possibly mean GW-BASIC which is allegedly named after Microsoft employee, Greg Whitten. According to Whitten, Bill Gates picked the name, however it's never been clarified whether GW was named after Whitten or Gates himself (Gates, William), or both (Gates, Whitten), or something else entirely. Whitten refers to it as Gee-Whiz BASIC. It was written by Microsoft while Whitten himself developed the standards in the Microsoft BASIC line.

Mozart Programming System is another possibility, developed by the Mozart Consortium.

Shakespeare is another, developed by Jon Åslund and Karl Hasselström.

Ada is another possibility, except Ada Lovelace (Augusta Ada King, Countess of Lovelace) was female.

Pascal is named after mathematician Blaise Pascal, created by Niklaus Wirth.

Eiffel, created by Bertrand Meyer, might be named after Gustave Eiffel.
