Einstein's Mass-Energy Equation: Also known as
Einstein's Mass-Energy Equation is usually known as Einstein's Equation, but there are a number of such equations that Einstein deduced.
However, this is the most famous one, and has caught the imagination of the general public.
Hence, if you refer to Einstein's Equation at a party, for example, everyone will know which one you mean, and it's this one.
Some sources refer to it boringly as the Mass-Energy Equation
