Actually, it wasn't named after SOMEBODY, it was named after a city in Connecticut. Lyme, Connecticut in 1975.Children usually got arthritis, and the disease eventually infected the skin, joints, nervous system, and, if untreated, other organs.

Lyme disease was named after the town of Lyme, Connecticut, where a cluster of cases was first identified in the 1970s. The disease is caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi and is primarily transmitted to humans through the bite of infected ticks.
