Bessie was most likely named in honor of William Hartnell's Aunt Bessie, who passed away during the filming of the First Doctor serial The Myth Makers.

Late History
I think we need a definite decision as to what happened to Bessie to get her out of the TARDIS (COMIC:Changes) and into "mothballs" at the hands of the Brigadier (TV:Battlefield), as the "One account states" thing we've got at the moment isn't really enough. I would suggest that the Doctor took her out of the TARDIS during an unknown adventure, probably with the Brigadier (if it was with the Brig, then that would make it a sixth doctor adventure, as he hadn't met the seventh prior to Battlefield).
