Best Answer

Heron of Alexandria is the first person known to have used it in the 1st century AD. It might have been known as many as 400 years earlier, though, by Archimedes of Syracuse, but most of his works were lost when the Alexandria was destroyed. Things aren't always named after the first person known to have used them, but in this case it looks like it was.
