In 1911, a term for the fear of the number 13 was coined by Isador Coriat in his Abnormal Psychology book. It was referred to as "Triskaidekaphobia," and it entailed that those affected by this phobia tried to avoid anything that had the number thirteen in it. This fear also extended to Friday the 13, which is considered as the unluckiest day of the month.
