It is named after Prof Satyendra Nath Bose. A physicist and true polyglot from pre-independent India. He was in his twenties when he figured this out. Of course never really received any larger fame, as is customary for Theoretical scientists from South East Asia (well most of the time) but if anyone is interested here is the story - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satyendra_Nath_Bose

You got me. But being a Fermion or a Boson is (IMO) a label for a generic property. and we have plenty of other such theoretical constructs named after the inventor: Weyl, Dirac, etc. we need language and labels to communicate ideas, so that is alight. But the Higgs particle and mechanism represents physical reality (now at least) which brings it to the level of electrons, quarks and the fundamental forces of nature. These names will stand for as long as our civilization. Who cares that someone predicted them a couple of years before their discovery when we are a century down the line. Just imagine if fire was known as the Peterson effect? Anyway that’s just my opinion.

And while Gell-Mann did not name them after himself, “three quarks for Muster Mark” is a delightful origin of that particle’s name.

I wonder how bose-einstein condensates would taste. Forbidden ice cream?

As are fermions, but not hadrons ("stout"), baryons ("heavy"), mesons ("intermediate"), or leptons ("thin", "fine").

And of course fermions.
