Google on web sites gives 408,000  hits for Bayesian, 
and 250 hits for Bayesean.  1000-to-1  is a discrepancy in hits
that usually means 'mis-spelling'  but I see slight support for 
saying that it is intentional, as follows:

Google today showed me a feature that I don't remember
seeing before.  Google presented a sort of index for each:  
 - for Bayesian, 
science > math> statistics > Bayesian analysis;
 - and for the  -ean, 
computers > artificial intelligence > belief networks > software .

Google on usenet groups shows 250,000 hits versus 131 hits.
