English term or phrase: Individual names in professor titles
I'd like to know what individual names in the professor title are.
For example, William D. Andrews is “Eli Goldston Professor of Law” at Harvard Law School and Victor P. Goldberg is “Thomas Macioce Professor of Law” at Columbia University School of Law. What do “Eli Goldston” and “Thomas Macioce” stand for in these particular professor titles? Or why are those individual names used in there? And is there any general rule, custom or the like that specifies how to use an individual name on the professor title in America?

Explanation:
The name before the professor title is a dedication to a person who endows the university or the particular post with (a tremendous amount of) money. Just add the name before the title.
