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.

What is it called when the linear it doesn't go through the origin?

When a linear equation does not pass through the origin, it is referred to as a "non-homogeneous" linear equation. In this case, the equation typically takes the form (y = mx + b), where (b) is the y-intercept. The presence of the y-intercept indicates that the line is shifted vertically away from the origin. If (b) is not zero, the line will not intersect the origin (0,0).
