The Volt, a unit of measuring electrical force, is named after the Italian, 'Volta'. Voltage is the "push" that makes current flow through a closed electrical circuit.

A Volt is equal to the potential energy difference between two points in a circuit that is equivalent to one Joule of energy per Coulomb of charge that passes between them.
