Yes, the bowler hat is named after one of its early creators, Edward Coke, who was the younger brother of the politician Thomas Coke, 2nd Earl of Leicester. The hat was designed in 1849 by Coke and his friend, the London hat maker, Thomas Bowler, which led to its popular name. The design was intended to be a sturdy and fashionable alternative to top hats for outdoor activities.
