  Johns Hopkins University is named after the guy that funded it at the beginning, Johns Hopkins. He was named after his grandfather, Johns Hopkins, whose first name was his mother’s last name.

  So Johns Hopkins has two last names, but one of them is a first name.

  That would be a very strange thing for news outlets to do.

  It’s actually called Johns Hopkins?

  Named for Johns Hopkins, who got his first name from his mother’s maiden name.
