They were named after the people who invented them.
Farenheit picked body temperature as the 100 mark, he must have been running a slight fever. He picked the coldest temperature he could make, a salt/ice mixture, for zero.

Fahrenheit is a temperature scale named after the German-Dutch physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit (1686–1736), who proposed it in 1724.
In 1742, Anders Celsius (1701 – 1744) created a "reversed" version of the modern Celsius temperature scale whereby zero represented the boiling point of water and 100 represented the melting point of ice
