    I think it's a combination of both. If he was called Larry Porkhomovskiy I don't think he'd have called it PorkhomovskiyRank.

    "PageRank was developed at Stanford University by Larry Page (hence the name Page-Rank[3])"


    Looking forward.

    Pagerank is nothing more than a probability algorithm; the name is misleading.

    It's my first time to know that. Me too. I thought PR is just related to ranking.

    Your thought is right. The name Page Rank comes from one of the founders of Google...
