The coolest name is Snobol.

The specification has been frozen for longer than any other language I've heard of.

It would be even better if it were the name of a metal hairband from the '80s in Norway.

Tigrinya is a pretty cool name too.

Ethiopia. It's the second most common Semitic language (after Arabic, of course).

I'm afraid I'm completely ignorant of it; I just like the name (the alphabet is pretty cool too). Check out the Wikipidia page for examples.
