#2054 — bubble sort

Can someone help me understand why bubble sort is called bubble sort?

I have never seen bubbles that sort themselves.

The AlgoRythmics also have:
 quick sort, merge sort, insert sort, select sort,
 Shell sort

I couldn't find any parallel sorts.

Bubble sort 
was also named after the person who developed it.

It's a verb, not a noun.

Good point. I have the same reservations about the so-called "quick 
sort", I often find it lacking speed when sorting several million text
