I’m sure there’s a valid reason, but I’ve got no idea what it is. Why “Kelvin?” Is that a reference to a character in the original Star Trek continuity?

Apparently one of the first changed events in the timeline was that the ship that went back in time attacked the USS Kelvin.

FYI memory beta is for non-canon works. Memory alpha is for canon works, although obviously non-canon works do often end up becoming canon.
Oh, thanks! I was just googling because the question got me curious.
