"The Simpsons" family is named after creator Matt Groening's real family.

The statement "The Simpsons family is named after creator Matt Groening's real family" is true. The main characters of the animated sitcom, The Simpsons, are named after members of Matt Groening's real family, with slight alterations. Homer, Marge, Lisa, and Maggie Simpson share their names with Groening's father, mother, sister, and younger sister, respectively. However, Groening changed the main character's name from "Matt" to "Bart" to avoid any direct association with himself, but Bart's character is also based on Groening's own experiences growing up. Thus, the naming of the main family after Groening's real family makes this statement true.
