Interesting. Is that a unit he invented or is it just a reference to his last name that stuck?

From Bernoulli maps apparently. I still don't understand why[0].

A bit of a garden path path sentence... I believe "maps" in "maps to" was being used as a verb.

So "noul"--short for Bernoulli as in the Bernoulli distribution--"maps to if-statements."
