V, c'mon we knew that. The question is why the ship is named after that particular demi-god and not say, Zeus. And further, Promotheus biggest role is that he gifted fire to humanity and was then brutally punished for it. Not all ancient versions of the Prometheus story have him as the creator of humanity. Fire in Ancient Greek is written like "technos" and yes that where we get the word technology from. A lot has been made of that over the centuries.
My point is that we will get some form of origin story out of the film and it will likely refer to the race from the derelict ship. Conjecture I know

Wrong about Prometheus:

It is a Greek God, the creator of human kind.
