What Does "jacobi" Mean And Where Did It Come From?

The Jacobi polynomials, also known as hypergeometric polynomials, occur in the study of rotation groups and in the solution to the equations of motion of the symmetric top. They are solutions to the Jacobi differential equation, and give some other special named polynomials as special cases. They are implemented in Mathematica as JacobiP[n, a, b, z].
