Macintosh got it's name because the company that created it is called Apple. A macintosh is a variety of apple. Apple was founded in 1976 by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak. They had tremendous initial success with the Apple I and the Apple II (especially the Apple IIe, which was widely used in education). In 1984 they released the original Macintosh, an affordable system with a GUI that was geared towards regular people, not just businesses and scientists.

Windows got it's name because the original version was a GUI (Graphical User Interface) for DOS, a command line system. Because they were giving DOS a graphical interface, it was called Windows.

Linux got it's name because it is based on UNIX, and was created by Linus Torvalds. Linus + UNIX = Linux
