Name-wise
Is this sentence correct:
"Not a very long time ago, Alzeihmers' was unheard of NAME-WISE."

Yes, as casual English. Forming casual, temporary adverbs with the structure noun + wise is quite common. Such sentences are not great grammar-wise,, but they are usually easy to understand meaning-wise.

It's understandable, but I couldn't find 'name-wise' in any dictionary, so if this is for an academic essay, you should change it.
Not so very long ago, the name "Alzheimer's disease" was unheard of as a diagnosis of that particular form of dementia.

0The word "name-wise" is awkward. The sentence would be better, for example, as:
Not long ago the word Alzheimer's was unknown.
