Named after states whose name a theorem actually carries, which is not always the person who proved it. Wikipedia notes the proposition "was first stated as a theorem by Pierre de Fermat around 1637 in the margin of a copy of Arithmetica," 358 years before anyone could prove it. This dimension separates a theorem's namesake from whoever eventually supplied the proof.
