One corner I know of is named after one of the greatest drivers in the world, the Senna corner.

We lost a great one when he passed...

Very true words indeed. Senna has a set of Esses named after him as well.

AHHH, "The Kink" at RA. A subtle name for a very fast corner.
"The Esses" at The Glen

AHHH, "The Kink" at RA. A subtle name for a very fast, hairy corner.
"The Esses" at The Glen, need I say more.
"Sunset Bend" at Sebring, one of my favourites.

The Inner Loop @ the Glen
The Bus Stop @ Oesterreichring (?)
All the corners @ Imola, especially Tamburello (site of Senna crash)
