The author. We have every reason to believe that Shakespeare gave it that name. It has another name, "What You Will". Some people had speculated that this was the original name of the play, but that someone else premiered a play called "What You Will" at the same time, and in order to distinguish them, Shakespeare called this one Twelfth Night, possibly because it was being premiered at Christmas time.
"Twelfth Night" is named after the twelfth night of the Christmas season, known as the Eve of the Feast of Epiphany. It marks the end of the Twelve Days of Christmas and is traditionally celebrated with feasting and merrymaking. Shakespeare's play "Twelfth Night" was likely written for a performance during this festive period.
