No, Frankenstein was written by Mary Shelley.

Many German names end in -stein which means "stone" or "rock." This likely derives from the association with stone castles and villages near them.

NO!!! and you should probably not ask this question. Frankenstein is a novel by Mary Shelley, where a scientist named Vincent Frankenstein creates a Creature - wrongfully confused as Frankenstein himself - who does not have a name. And as for Einstein, look up the famous E=MC2 etc.

Victor Frankenstein was the name of the ... hero? protagonist? ... some guy in Mary Shelley's novel "Frankenstein; or, the Modern Prometheus". It was he (and not Albert Einstein) who created the creature commonly known as "Frankenstein", though the novel never calls the creature that; the creature itself prefers the name "Adam" (the book version is only vaguely similar to most movie portrayals, and while "ugly" is fully capable of speech and quite intelligent), and the book more commonly refers to it as the creature, monster, demon, or fiend.

If you are using "Frankenstein" figuratively to refer to the atomic bomb, Einstein was only peripherally involved in that. It's true that the mass/energy equivalence is involved, but Einstein had published that four decades before the bomb was actually developed; you might as well blame Newton for ICBMs. Einstein's only direct personal involvement was that he allowed his name and reputation to be used to get the attention of US government officials more rapidly than would have been the case otherwise; some of the scientists who feared the Germans were already working on atomic weapons, and who wanted to urge the US to undertake the necessary research to develop them before the Nazis could, were "big names" in the physics community, but not necessarily outside it; Einstein was well known even to laypeople.

If you mean the monster, that was a fictional creation of Mary Shelley who wrote the book. If you are referring to atomic weapons as monsters, Einstein did not create atomic weapons.
