I think it is indeed van der Waerden, but in the earlier paper [1926], where he sounds just like one does when introducing terminology: translated from p. 143,
the proposition in question is an almost immediate consequence of two fundamental propositions of HILBERT, which can be describedreferred to as HILBERT’s Nullstellensatz and HILBERT’s Basissatz.
An extra twist is that this all ‘presumably’presumably first appeared in Dutchin Dutch, in a first version [1925] of the paper that would be interesting to find and check; it doesn’t seem to be onlinecheck; it doesn’t seem to be online.
