The creators want that everyone "see" his language. So he named it "C".

To my recollection Dennis Ritchie was working on the Multics operating system and also BCPL primarily to write compilers, then wrote B. Multics and B where then scrapped for Unix and C, C primarily then used to write Unix itself as well as all the utilities that came along with it

C is about the tone C. There had already been B. (Like the others said) When C++ was released, it was because the creator wanted to say it is C, but oncreased, because of the C++, although these both languages are quite different. C# is because in music, the # at the end means, that the tone is raised by one step. Same princip as with the ++. Nowadays, there 7s also F.

Before C there was a language called B. And after C came the increment of C that is C++.

C came out of Ken Thompson's Unix project at AT&T. He originally wrote Unix in assembly language. He wrote a language in assembly called B that ran on Unix, and was a subset of an existing language called BCPL. Dennis Ritchie joined Thompson's project, extended the B language into what they called C, and subsequently Unix was largely rewritten in C.
