No. ALS was first found in 1869 by French neurologist Jean-Martin Charcot, but it wasn't until 1939 that Lou Gehrig brought world-wide attention to the disease. After ending the career of one of the most beloved Baseball players of all time, the disease is still closely associated with his name.

Why alzheimer's is called so?
Most diseases are named for the first person, or for the most notable or well known person to be diagnosed with this disease, or for the doctor who first identified it. So "Lou Gehrig's Disease", in the USA, was named for the famous baseball player who suffered it. In Britain, it is called "Motor Neuron Disease", and this is the same thing that Stephen Hawking has. Alzheimer's Disease was named for Dr. Alois Alzheimer, the German psychiatrist who first diagnosed and described it.

When was alzheimer first diagnosed?
Origin of Alzheimer's Disease The disease was first described by Dr. Alois Alzheimer, a German physician, in 1906. Alzheimer had a patient in her fifties who suffered from what seemed to be a mental illness. But when she died in 1906, an autopsy revealed dense deposits, now called neuritic plaques, outside and around the nerve cells in her brain. Inside the cells were twisted strands of fiber, or neurofibrillary tangles. Today, a definite diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease is still only possible when an autopsy reveals these hallmarks of the disease. Since Dr. Alois Alzheimer's was the first person who discovered the disease, AD was named after him.
