Jane Porter from Disney's Tarzan is called Jane because she is named after Jane Goodall. 

You may ask "Why would Professor Porter name his daughter after Jane Goodall?" 

You may be thinking "What do Jane Goodall and Jane Porter have in common besides first name?" 

                         

Jane Porter in her casual outfit         Modern Jane Goodall 

As shown by the pictures above, they look nothing alike! 

But, Mr. Porter might have chosen to name his daughter after Jane Goodall because maybe Jane Goodall convinced him to be so interested in primates. 

Think about it: they both study and love primates. 

They have both visited jungles in Africa. 

Maybe Mr. Porter is based on Jane Goodall! 

                                    

Archimedes Q. Porter.      Jane Goodall with her plush monkey Jubilee

 The pictures show they look somewhat alike.

But Tarzan was written before Goodall was born

This is untrue!  You're saying the original author (E. R. Burroughs) named a character in his fictional story after a real person, who was not born until over 20 years after he wrote his Tarzan story.

Tarzan was written in 1912. Jane Goodall was born in 1934. There is no connection. Sorry!

I'm sorry but please do your research properly. Jane Porter was a character prior to Jane Goodall being born. Please stop misinforming people.
