Bacon

"Novum Organum" author

Bacon as a surname is associated with several notable figures, most prominently the English philosopher Francis Bacon (1561–1626), considered a founder of empirical scientific method, and the Irish-born painter Francis Bacon (1909–1992), known for his raw, distorted figurative work.

The name also belongs to actor Kevin Bacon, whose film career inspired the parlor game Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon. (Lowercase bacon is the cured pork product.)
