The Poisson process is named after French mathematician Siméon Denis Poisson (1781-1840). This term is universally used in technical and academic contexts across both Brazilian and European Portuguese. It is particularly important in modern applications such as telecommunications, internet traffic modeling, financial mathematics, and operational research. The term is not localized and maintains the same name across all languages and regions.
