Not clear the 3 Mb one had a name of its own.
Note that Aloha is fundamentally different from Ethernet. Aloha is MA but not CS nor CD,
and its performance characteristics are very different from Ethernet.

Ethernet was the name given to the Alto (XEROX) Aloha Network created (?)
by Bob Metcalff (sp?), which was based/inspired by an improved version of
the ALOHANET used by the U of Hawaii. I think Ethernet was a nickname,
eventually becoming the official name of what was originally the Alto Aloha
Network.
I did not look this up in Wikipedia, I am sure this must be somewhere
