Introduced by names the mathematician who first brought an object to wider mathematical attention. Wikipedia notes the sequence was introduced to the West by "the Italian mathematician Leonardo of Pisa, also known as Fibonacci, who introduced the sequence to Western European mathematics in his 1202 book Liber Abaci."
