According to some sources, the Fibonacci sequence is also known as Lamé's Sequence, after Gabriel Lamé.
However, this suggestion is difficult to corroborate.
The notation for the $n$th Fibonacci number is not universally standardised.

$F_n$ tends to appear more in amateur publications, but $F_n$ is rapidly taking over as standard.
$F_n$ is the notation used in The Fibonacci Quarterly.
