Best Answer

"Algebra" isn't named after a man. "Al-jabr" was part of the title of a book written (in Arabic) by Al-Khowarizmi. According to http://www.und.edu/instruct/lgeller/algebra.html, jabr was a particular algebraic operation used in solving equations. So the word "algebra" is derived from the Arabic name of a particular mathematical process.
