Absolutely. The current title ("Nobel Prize for Economics") is simply false. The official name is "The Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel 2021", which can be shortened to "Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences". Note that this is meaningfully and on purpose unlike the Physics or Chemistry prize situation. What's more, even the current name is controversial, seeing as it misappropriates the Nobel name with the goal of elevating the social status of some economists. Peter Nobel, for one, seems to be furious about it, and it definitely isn't done according to the wishes of Alfred Nobel.
