>Does  anyone know the origin of the name "Jethro Tull"?

Jethro Tull (1674 - 1741) was a British agronomist and inventor.  He is
most famous for the inventions of a seed-hole driller and the horse-drawn hoe.
He advocated several agricultural practices which are now commonplace, such
as careful placement of seed in the soil (as opposed to hand-broadcast),
and hoeing between rows to break up the soil.

What this has to do with music or Ian Anderson, I have no idea.
