Huffman Coding, Turing Machines, Knuth Devices, Bayesian networks, B-tree (named after Bayer), AVL Trees, so many data structures and algorithms, even relatively new ones like Timsort, Jaccard similarity, MapReduce (thankfully but I have seen people call it Dean-Ghemawatt MapReduce in literature).

Well people even name stuff after themselves as well, Fil-C, raylib, etc (I like both Filip and Ray just pointing it out).

Aside: If I butchered some spellings I am sorry. :3
