Why was the name 'Achilles' named after the back of the heel?
It's the other way around. The Achilles tendon was named after the character Achilles. Achilles got his invinceability when his mother dipped him into the river Styx. In order to do this, she held him by the back of the foot-- Where she held him was the only part of his body that was not bathed in the river's water. Hence his defeat (agony of da feet?) when struck at the Achilles tendon.
