There's also GotoBLAS, developed by Kazushige Goto. I wonder if they have any relation or if it's a relatively common name.
Very common in Japan, it seems: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Got%C5%8D_(surname) . (Confusingly there is both a Mariko Goto who used to be the singer in a band named Midori and a Japanese-American violinist named Midori Goto.)
