I've desperately searched the Internet, to no avail, to find a citation of how the "Wheel of Theodorus" became known as the "Wheel of Einstein" as claimed by Wikipedia and Wolfram.

Considering that "The Wheel of Theodorus is also called the Spiral of Theodorus, the Square Root Spiral, Einstein Spiral, or Pythagorean Spiral," [W.Lombard] I doubt you'll find anything other than random common usage as a reason for naming. ( also “Wurzel Spirale" )
