Unknown, but if the question is about the Eiffel Tower, I think it was named after the architect who designed it. The tower was supposed to be a temporary structure for the World's Fair in Paris, and the French thought it was ugly, but when the fair was over they had grown to like it and refused to let it be dismantled.
Gustave Eiffel built the Eiffel Tower for a French fair in 1889, along with the Statue of Liberty which he later then gave to America, which can be found today in New York.
the Eiffel Tower
Primarily because it was created to celebrate the anniversary of the French revolution.
The Eiffel Tower commemorates the centenary of the revolution, in other words, it was made to mark 100 years to the revolution, so its wasn't there when the revolution took place.
Kings and queens had no role in building the Eiffel tower. The last French king was ousted by the 1848 revolution. The decision to build a landmark 300 meters iron tower was taken in the mid 1880s. France was then a Republic. The connection you can make with kings is that the Eiffel tower had to be completed for the opening of the 1889 World Fair, marking the hundredth anniversary of the French revolution of 1789.
