There are different ways that diseases are named. The old-fashioned way was to name them with the person's last name that discovered them. These are called aponyms; Parkinsons is an example. More and more the trend is to give it more descriptive names by what causes it or what it does. In this method the terms are derived from Greek; appendicitis is one example, it means infection of the added on tissue - which is what the name of the appendix means.
