This is usually called the "Pauli Exclusion Principle".
If you are referring to the Aufbau Principle, than I believe it was the Danish physicist Niels Bohr who discovered it around 1920. However, instead of being named after a person, it came from the German phrase Aufbauprinzip which literally translates to "building-up principle."
the aufbau principle
Nature prefers low energy. It is thus energetically favorable to do so.
The elements that are exceptions to the aufbau principle other than chromium and copper include molybdenum (Mo) and tungsten (W), which have a 4s orbital that is higher in energy than the 3d orbital, and silver (Ag) and gold (Au), which have a 5s orbital that is higher in energy than the 4d orbital. These exceptions are due to the electron-electron repulsion between electrons occupying the 4s and 3d orbitals, and the 5s and 4d orbitals, respectively.

Each electron occupies the lowest energy orbital. Orbitals related to energy level are of equal energy.
Aufbau Principle
The principle was named by a German speaker who called it Aufbau. "Buildup" is the usual translation of Aufbauinto English.
