One of the more common fan theories that’s popped up is that Ben Solo was named after Obi-Wan Kenobi, who famously used the name Ben Kenobi while in exile on Tatooine.
It took a long time, but Lucasfilm has finally addressed this detail head on in the new novel Star Wars: Legacy.

This is clear-cut confirmation that Ben Solo was indeed named after Obi-Wan Kenobi.
It mirrors developments in the old Star Wars Legends continuity, where Han and Leia named one of their children after a different Jedi: Anakin.
