Stigler's law of eponymy[1] rules them all.

1. Wikipedia: "Stigler's law of eponymy ... states that no scientific discovery is named after its original discoverer. ... Stigler himself named the sociologist Robert K. Merton as the discoverer of "Stigler's law" to show that it follows its own decree, though the phenomenon had previously been noted by others."
