Algorithm
The word 'algorithm' has its roots in Latinizing the name of Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi in a first step to "algorismus". Al-Khwārizmī (, , c. 780–850) was a Persian mathematician, astronomer, geographer, and scholar in the House of Wisdom in Baghdad, whose name means 'the native of Khwarezm', a region that was part of Greater Iran and is now in Uzbekistan.
Mathomatic
The name "Mathomatic" is a portmanteau of "math" and "automatic", and was inspired by the naming and automation of "Rog-O-Matic", which was an early experiment in artificial intelligence.
