No, Martin Luther did not intend to have a church named after him. His primary goal was to reform the Catholic Church and address its practices, particularly the sale of indulgences. The term "Lutheran" emerged later as followers of his teachings formed their own distinct tradition. Luther himself emphasized the importance of Christ and the Scriptures over any personal legacy.

Why did Martin Luther and his supporters want to change the Catholic church?

Basically because the Church was asking them to change their lives to conform to Christ's high moral standards. Martin Luther did not wish to do this, and when the Church wouldn't change, he left and founded his own "church". His "supporters" who were mostly the princes what is now northern Germany liked the idea of not sending tax revenue to Rome, so they got on board with a Church tailored to their individual wants.

What did Martin Luther's followers call themselves?

Martin Luther was the leader of the Christian Reformation, that is he started the rebellion against the Roman Catholic church because of what the chatholic church was doing to the people, selling pentances and so forth making them think that the more money they gave for forgiviness of a sin that God would surley forgive them of that sin and they would go to heaven and it would keep them out of hell. The people at that time started calling them selves Lutherans that followed new beliefs of Martin Luther and Martin Luther did not want that but he could not change the people so that is where the Lutheran got their name and where the church got started. Martin Luther aso and formost found in the study of the word that God saves you through his word and that all you have to do is ask God to save you and come into your heart to go to Heaven. This is the biggest difference between the Catholic and the Prodestants today and that is what the Reformation is all about. That is where the name Prodestant came from the word Protest. Martin Luther protested against the Catholic church when he placed his Theses on the door at Worms.
