The Fibonacci sequence is named after Italian mathematician Leonardo of Pisa, known as Fibonacci. His 1202 book Liber Abaci introduced the sequence to Western European mathematics, although the sequence had been described earlier as Virahankanumbers in Indian mathematics.

No, the Fibonacci sequence and the Fibonacci triangle are not the same thing. The Fibonacci sequence is a series of numbers where each number is the sum of the two preceding ones, typically starting with 0 and 1. In contrast, the Fibonacci triangle, also known as the Fibonacci triangle or triangle of Fibonacci numbers, is a triangular arrangement of numbers that represents combinations of Fibonacci numbers, often related to combinatorial properties. While both concepts are related to Fibonacci numbers, they have different structures and applications.
Fibonacci numbers have always been around. Many scholars believe the concept was first noticed by mathematicians of India. Leonardo of Pisa (known as Fibonacci) first introduced the sequence to Western European mathematics in a 1202 book entitled LiberAbici, thus the sequence bears his name.
Because the sequence was discovered and studied by Fibonacci of Pisa
No, they are not the normal Fibonacci numbers.
the fibonacci pattern of numbers came round about in the 1980's

the first seven Fibonacci numbers are 1,1,2,3,5,8,13. 13 is a Fibonacci number.
An Ashanti number is a concept in mathematics related to the Fibonacci sequence, where each term is the sum of the two preceding ones. Ashanti numbers are formed by starting with two initial values and then generating subsequent terms based on their sum. This concept can be extended beyond Fibonacci numbers to include other sequences derived in a similar manner.
The first 85 Fibonacci numbers are:011235813213455891442333776109871,5972,5844,1816,76510,94617,71128,65746,36875,025121,393196,418317,811514,229832,0401,346,2692,178,3093,524,5785,702,8879,227,46514,930,35224,157,81739,088,16963,245,986102,334,155165,580,141267,914,296433,494,437701,408,7331,134,903,1701,836,311,9032,971,215,0734,807,526,9767,778,742,04912,586,269,02520,365,011,07432,951,280,09953,316,291,17386,267,571,272139,583,862,445225,851,433,717365,435,296,162591,286,729,879956,722,026,0411,548,008,755,9202,504,730,781,9614,052,739,537,8816,557,470,319,84210,610,209,857,72317,167,680,177,56527,777,890,035,28844,945,570,212,85372,723,460,248,141117,669,030,460,994190,392,490,709,135308,061,521,170,129498,454,011,879,264806,515,533,049,3931,304,969,544,928,6572,111,485,077,978,0503,416,454,622,906,7075,527,939,700,884,7578,944,394,323,791,46414,472,334,024,676,22123,416,728,348,467,68537,889,062,373,143,90661,305,790,721,611,59199,194,853,094,755,497160,500,643,816,367,088
37 is not in the Fibonacci number series, but is the sum of two Fibonacci numbers, 34 and 3. Fibonacci numbers are with 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, etc.
Fibonacci numbers are important in art and music. The ratio between successive Fibonacci numbers approximates an important constant called "the golden mean" or sometimes phi, which is approximately 1.61803.
