- In metalogic: The Löwenheim-Skolem theorem
A finding closely related to the completeness theorem is the Löwenheim-Skolem theorem (1915, 1920), named after Leopold Löwenheim, a German schoolteacher, and Skolem, which says that if a sentence (or a formal system) has any model, it has a countable or enumerable model…

A generalized theorem can be proved using basically the same ideas as those employed in the more special case discussed above.

…theorem that bears their names—the Löwenheim-Skolem theorem—has two parts. First, if a first-order proposition or finite axiom system has any models, it has countable models. Second, if it has countable models, it has models of any higher cardinality.
