No one means Laplace the person if they say Laplace. And the same for Lagrange though that’s usually only Lagrange points and Laplace is mostly the distribution but also other stuff. Very little of mathematics is named for women because of misogyny. The only thing that comes to mind is Noether’s theorem and that’s not something you come across often. We have Pythagoras but not Hypathia. Einstein but not Maric. At least Lovelace is as famous as Babbage.
