For perspective on his contribution to geometry, we have Plato (ca. 400 BC), whose name is attached to the 5 Platonic solids.
The octahedron has eight faces, hence the prefix octa. The octahedron is one of the Platonic solids, although octahedral molecules typically have an atom in their centre and no bonds between the ligand atoms.
