Shaw named his play Pygmalion after the Ancient Greek myth about a guy named Pygmalion from Cyprus who sculpted a beautiful lady. He fell in love with the statue he had sculpted and prayed to Aphrodite to bring the woman to life. Aphrodite granted his wish and turned the statue into a beautiful woman of flesh and blood.

In Shaw's play, Henry Higgins, as 'the sculptor'  sculpts his ideal woman Eliza Doolittle.
