$\begingroup$ I checked the Whitaker's Original Paper, Whittaker, E. T. (1915). XVIII.—On the Functions which are represented by the Expansions of the Interpolation-Theory. Proceedings of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, 35, 181–194. doi:10.1017/s0370164600017806, he never uses the term cardinal sine or sinus cardinalis. He does introduce the term cardinal. I think the question is now who associated the term sinus cardinalis to the Whitaker's relation. $\endgroup$

$\begingroup$ When an edit to the question included a link to a similar question on hsm.stackexchange, I realized that my answer is basically the same answer as the accepted answer over there… $\endgroup$
