Fred Hoyle was so dismissive of the primordial atom hypothesis of our Universe that he invented a perjorative description of it: he called it the "Big Bang" Hypothesis.

Yes, Fred Hoyle's use of the term "big bang" to describe the theory of the universe's origin was meant to be dismissive and to mock the idea. He believed in a steady-state theory instead. Despite his intentions, the term stuck and is now commonly used to describe the moment of the universe's creation.
Fred Hoyle is the one that is credited for coining the phrase The Big Bang Theory. The theory itself was first composed from observed by Vestro Slipher in the early 1900s.
The theory that states the universe began in a violent explosion is the Big Bang theory. It proposes that the universe started as a singularity and has been expanding ever since, leading to the formation of galaxies, stars, and planets. This explosion occurred approximately 13.8 billion years ago.
According to Wikipedia the theory which became know as the "Big Bang Theory" was first seriously proposed in 1931 by Georges Lemaitre. The name "Big Bang Theory" is attributed later (1949) to the astronomer Fred Hoyle. The appropriate search term on Wikipedia is "Big Bang".

In an attempt to mock the idea of a sudden and explosive beginning to the universe, noted British astronomer Sir Fred Hoyle coined the term "big bang". He intended it to be derisive.
Well, no active part! The most significant thing about Fred Hoyle and the Big Bang is that, at the time the theory was propounded, he was very sceptical. I understand that he coined the term in a faintly derogatory way, as he believed at the time in the "Steady State Theory" - the idea that the universe was infinite in age. Hoyle's objections to the Big Bang theory are philosophical: naturalism finds it much easier to accommodate an infinitely old universe than a universe that had its origin at a point in space-time, as this suggests a "prior" or "external" cause. It is one of the areas where pure philosophical naturalism still blushes and clears its throat nervously.
The term "big bang" was first coined by Fred Hoyle who used the term to reject the idea. There has never been a paper published called the "big bang theory" and so it is only a collection of concepts built up by physicists and astronomers.

because it is just an theory.it is coined by,Fred Hoyle in 1519.

# They can't; # What makes you say that the Steady State theory won a Nobel Prize? The Steady State theory is attributable primarily to Fred Hoyle, Thomas Gold, and Hermann Bondi, none of whom ever won a Nobel Prize (Hoyle arguably should have shared in the 1983 prize for his work on stellar nucleosynthesis, but that was a separate topic and had little to do with steady state theory). (For that matter, the Big Bang theory was proposed by Georges LeMaitre, who also did not win a Nobel Prize; the 1978 prize for physics went to Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson for their discovery of cosmic microwave background radiation which was considered to be evidence that the Big Bang theory was correct, not for the Big Bang theory itself.)
The term "Big Bang" was coined by the English astrophysicist Fred Hoyle in 1949. The evidence we have indicates that the universe began approximately 13.8 billion years ago in what we call the Big Bang. Hoyle championed a rival "steady state" cosmological theory, but he insisted that the term "big bang" was not meant derisively, but was simply a descriptive way to distinguish the theories. Though the Big Bang suggests a colossal explosion, it wasn't really an "explosion" in the sense that we understand it. Rather, it was a sudden and colossal expansion. http://archive.ncsa.uiuc.edu/Cyberia/Cosmos/InTheBeginning.html
