I don't like that people downvoted you for asking a question.
If someone thinks the question is stupid or not doesn't mean that a downvote is warranted. (nor an upvote, answer the question and move on.)
To answer though; it's just a coincidence, as you might already know Nvidia uses famous scientists (especially in the field of electricity) as the names of their microarchitectures.
* Volta (Alessandro Volta, inventor of the electric battery)
* Tesla (inventor/designer of A/C current)
* Maxwell (James Clerk Maxwell, founder of electromagnetic radiation)
* Pascal (Blaise Pascal, lots of science around "pressure", arguably his work led to the creation of vacuum tubes used in early computers)
Ampere (from André-Marie Ampère, who lent his name to his discovery and classification of "amps") is just an electrical scientists name.
Coincidentally a new company founded in 2017 decided that it was a good name for them, and thus the confusion.
