Aleksandr Yakovlevich Khinchin was a Russian mathematician, born in Kondrovo, Kaluzhskaya guberniya, on 19 July 1894 and dying in Moscow on 18 November 1959, who contributed to many fields including number theory and probability. He studied at the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics of Moscow University and worked with Luzin and others while still a student, writing his first paper on a generalisation of the Denjoy integral before he graduated in 1916. His name is attached to results on continued fractions, limit theorems and the metric theory of numbers.

Norbert Wiener proved this theorem for the case of a deterministic function in 1930; Aleksandr Khinchin later formulated an analogous result for stationary stochastic processes and published that probabilistic analogue in 1934
