Data's creator was named Noonien Soong (https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Noonien_Soong)
Khan Noonien Singh
La'an Noonien Singh

They were named after Kim Noonien Singh, who Gene Roddenberry knew during World War II. source

Ah, I forgot Khan's middle name, and I figured that surely I was not the only one. Thanks!🙏:-)

I’m surprised Noonien Soong being related to Khan wasn’t brought up in TNG.

They were not related, just happened to have a similar name.

Too similar.

Things like that shouldn't be coincidence in screenplays. It's sloppy writing.
