    Mathematically, the Lagrange points represent solutions to a restricted form of the three body problem in which the mass of one object is assumed negligible compared to that of the two principal bodies—as, for example, an artificial satellite and the Earth–Moon system.

词源

Named after Joseph Louis Lagrange, who discovered the points L₄ and L₅, building on earlier work by Leonhard Euler, and in 1772 published an essay on the three-body problem.
