Herman Fokker was born in 1921.
The Fokker-Planck Equation arose in the work of Adriaan Fokker's 1913 thesis. Fokker studied under Lorentz, and that is probably the connection between Fokker and Planck, whose names the equation bears. Both physicists were working on brownian motion. Adriaan Fokker published "Die mittlere Energie rotierender elektrischer Dipole im Strahlungsfeld" Annalen der Physik 43, (1914) 810-820 and Max Planck published Ueber einen Satz der statistichen Dynamik und eine Erweiterung in der Quantumtheorie, Sitzungberichte der Preussischen Akadademie der Wissenschaften (1917) p. 324-341.
