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.
