Guillain-Barré syndrome is named after the French neurologists Georges Guillain and Jean Alexandre Barré, who, along with their colleague André Strohl, first described the condition in a medical paper published in 1916. They identified the syndrome as an acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy characterized by rapid-onset muscle weakness and paralysis. The naming honors their contributions to understanding this neurological disorder.
