The company that owns and operates Wolfram Alpha is Wolfram Research which is named for Stephen Wolfram, the founder and CEO of Wolfram Research. As for the Alpha, I do not know. Perhaps it is because it is the first letter of the greek alphabet, and they are "Number 1"?
Wolfram is what tungsten used to be called, which is why W is its chemical symbol.
The symbol for tungsten is "W" because it comes from the element's historical name, Wolfram. In the 18th century, tungsten was often referred to as wolfram, and its symbol "W" is derived from this older name.
In Spanish and German, Tungsten is known as "wolfram", and can be found in wolframite ore. This name came from the original name, "Volf Rahm", given by Johan Gottschalk Wallerius, who discovered it in 1747.
The symbol W in the periodic table stands for tungsten, even though its English name is wolfram. This discrepancy arises from historical reasons, as the element was initially known as wolfram in many European countries. Tungsten comes from the Swedish language, with "tung sten" meaning "heavy stone."
It means "tungsten" -- the metal most associated with light bulb filaments. Its Latin name is wolfram, from which it gets its element symbol, which is W.
