By "nobody" I assume you mean the common lay-person. Here are a few that come to mind:
Nikola Tesla - 19th century physicist and electrical engineer, did ground breaking work in AC electricity and magnetism and help lay the foundation for which electricity sent in the US
Leonhard Euler - 18th century mathematician, laid mathematical foundations for which nearly every engineering discipline relies on in one way or another.
Hammurabi - Ancient Babylonian king whose legal code still has influence even to this day.
Carl Friedrich Gauss - Late 18th early 19th century physicist and mathematician. His breakthroughs in math led to the equations that many modern calculation programs use today in the fields of probability, astronomy and electrical engineering.
Antonio Santi Giuseppe Meucci - Invented the telephone at about the same time as Alexander Graham Bell, but Bell beat him to the patent office
Michael Faraday - 19th century physicist and chemist. Discovered the link between electricity and magnetism, his law is what is used to generate electricity all over the world.
Wilhelm Leibniz - Discovered Calculus at about the same time as Newton, although Leibniz's notations and language are used over Newton's notations in math (Newton's notations still remain in science but not his language for calculus).
Rene Descartes - 17th century philosopher and scientist. Laid out a method of acquiring knowledge that was a precursor to the scientific method and was on the forefront of the Scientific Revolution.

I take your by your word and point out people that are UNKNOWN!
First there is ... he ...
Then let’s not forget ... she invented ...
No no, I am not cheating! You said they were unknown. Maybe they want to remain unknown also in the future!
OK, if that’s the way you feel, I won’t tell you who the other three are!
But you are welcome!
Thanks a lot, the same to you!
