Mendeleev's table
Do people refer to the periodic table of chemical elements as "Mendeleev's table" in English-speaking countries?
/Just curious, I've noticed that French people use "le tableau périodique" and "le tableau de Mendeleïev" pretty much interchangeably, but I'm not sure I ever heard "Mendeleev's table" in English./

I have heard it used, and would know what it means, since it's something I refer to relatively regularly, and I was taught the history of it many many years ago.
But it isn't used very regularly.

Here is a Google N-gram showing that the phrase "periodic table" is used 99.9% of the time.

I’ve never heard of it referred to that way. “Periodic table” or “periodic table of the elements”
