The term and the idea itself stem - as far as I know- from Henry 
Poincare and his version of relativty.

Einstein used a different concept and kind of a 'one-dimensional' time.

For instance, Einstein was thinking about synchronisation of remote 
clocks, which would include the idea of a common time for remote places, 
while 'local time' means, that time is a local thing and clocks at 
remote places cannot be synchronized for this reason.
