Salmonella was named after Daniel Elmer Salmon, an American veterinary pathologist who, together with Theobald Smith (better known for his work on anaphylaxis), first discovered the Salmonella bacterium in 1885 from pigs.

In Latin, and therefore in taxonomy, the suffix "-ella" means "diminuitive; tiny". So there you have it. "Salmonella" = "Salmon's tiny organism".
