The Halley's comet was named after Edmond Halley, the English astronomer who was the first to determine the comet's periodicity. He first sighted it in 1705.
Edmund Halley did not invent anything, but he was a British astronomer known for calculating the orbit of the comet that now bears his name. Halley's Comet, which passes by Earth approximately every 75-76 years, was the first comet to be recognized as periodic.

Difficult to know. The comet which later came to bear Edmund Halley's name has probably been visible throughout human history. But not until Halley did most people accept that all those different comets were all different visits of the SAME comet
