CoachWhen the original creators (both artists) created Them they could not think of enough authentic sounding Japanese names, so they named them after the renaissance artists they were the most familiar with.
when splinter found the turtles in the sewer, he also found a book on Italian Renaissance art so he named them Leonardo, Donatello,Michelangelo, and Raphael, all famous artists of the renaissance times.
They were named after artists because Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird weren't gaem enough to come up with Japanese names for the turtles.
Raphael, Michelangelo, Leonardo, and Donatello are all famous Renaissance artists (and, in Leonardo da vinci's case, a scientist) and act the the namesakes for the TMNT.
