Here is how video game characters got their names: characters like Mario, Sonic the Hedgehog, Kirby, Donkey Kong, Spyro the dragon, Crash Bandicoot, PAC-Man, and Link from the legend of Zelda.

creator Shigeru Miyamoto says Mario is named after Mario Segale, a landlord who owned a warehouse in Tukwila, Washington that Nintendo leased in the early '80s. When Nintendo fell behind on the rent, Segale gave them some extra time to pay up - so Nintendo named the main character of its new video game after him.
