Suppose you could call it the Gaussian Distribution or the Laplace-Gauss (not to be confused with the Laplace distribution which takes an absolute difference from the mean rather than a squared error)... however the Brits had no one to name this distribution after (not the German and French names) and because it is the ubiquitous distribution they just called it... well the NORMAL!!
