I'd say Einstein is remembered today because his name is ingrained in our pop culture and is effectively an adjective for being a genius. I doubt many people outside of STEM even know who Newton or Aristotle is.
Personally I doubt any name will be remembered a thousand year from now amongst the entire population.
