Best Answer

Archimedes, after discovering the principle of density. Most commonly associated with him having a bath, seeing the water flow out as he got in, then running round the town naked! This may be more legend than documented fact.

AnswerThe above is true...

Check it out: "Eureka" is Greek for "I found it!"

A bit more...It would be more accurate to say Eureka means "I am in a state of having found it" but you get the idea

He actually said the Greek words to vrika which means I found it but as the years have gone by and through many people saying it the two words became one resulting in eureka

Who shouted Evrika for the first time?

First off, it is: Eureka! (not evrika). Second, Archimedes was the greek scholar who is famous for shouting Eureka when he discovered that the volume of water displaced would be equal to the volume of any object submerged in a liquid. The first person to ever shout Eureka for the first time is not known, and probably won't ever be known. This is like asking "Who is the first person to shout 'Hello'?" for the first time.
