Yagi is the name of the man who invented the antenna design which bears his name,
yes. I believe he was (or possibly still is) Japanese.

When one is referring to a directional recieving antenna, where does
the word Yagi come from? Is it the name of the person who invented it,
or is there a different story behind it? Just curious...

The Yagi was invented by two Japanese engineers, Hidetsu Yagi and
Shintaro Uda back in the 1930's. I do not know if either is still
alive, but they called it a Yagi-Uda.

I do, however, know that there is no Mr. Crest.
