In 1896 the wife of Sir. Jonathan Wilfred gave birth to a baby with Down syndrome. He knew something was amiss, but in 1896 there was not yet any name for down syndrome, so when people asked he would tell them it was a Mongoloid, latin for "different". Now because of that people with down syndrome are referred to as Mongoloids.
