I have a question about the Nash charts.
Where does this name origin from? Was it a person or does it have
some meaning, that I did not heard so far?

The name "nash" is from the concept of Nash equilibrium. It's a game theory concept: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nash_equilibrium

I don't know who solved the Nash equilibrium for the "push/fold" charts, but the idea (I believe) is that there are certain cards that the remaining players should be indifferent to calling or folding, if someone goes all in. See, for example: http://pushfoldcharts.com/about/

This is viewed as game theory optimal play.

Thanks, this I wanted to know. :)
I googled already, but I just found the charts, but not the origin, who invented it.

The movie "A beautiful mind" is good if you want to know more about John Nash.
