Adolphe Sax invented the Saxophone, patented the entire family of saxes and actually made the first instruments. He called the instruments he made saxophones, and by the time other manufacturers could make them, that's how they were known by the public. He did the same thing with a family of brass instruments known as sax horns, which were popular in the late 1800's and are still used to some degree today.
