I always thought the LP title "Disraeli Gears" was a homage to Benjamin Disraeli, 1st Earl of Beaconsfield, who was Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland on two occasions, first in 1868 and then between 1874 and 1880. I suppose in a way it was. I was the first person in my neighborhood to buy the album. My brother and I were already big fans having listened to "Fresh Cream" over and over. I can remember our excitement when we sat down to listen to "Disraeli Gears" for the first time on the turntable.
I suppose you had to be there to appreciate the humour of the moment. I bet if you look at most naming's of things they come from some thing personal to the person doing the naming.
I always thought some contemplation went into it, if not some serious thought. This is much better than anything serious!
Never seen him this joyful

No, it was not a tribute, as he explained.
@@NigelTufnel612 Not consciously, but unconsciously. The name "Disraeli" wasn't plucked from the air.

It's a malapropism. It's humour, not a tribute.

I've never been very good with borrowed words either, namely French words that retain their original spelling.
