Ah, I know who he is then . One of the nicest theorems is the Mordell-Weil Theorem on Elliptic Curves, so he had a contribution to that theorem.

Here are more.
von Neumann (Johnny) and Neumann (as in the boundary value problem).

There was even a long period of time when I used to believe that the Neumann BVP was named after Johnny, I did not even know there was another Neumann.
