Stigler's Law of Eponymy

The notion that no scientific discovery is named after its original discoverer. Examples include Hubble's law (derived by Georges Lemaître two years before Edwin Hubble), the Pythagorean theorem (known to Babylonian mathematicians before Pythagoras), and Halley's comet (observed by astronomers since at least 240 BC).
