Sonar was gradually developed and improved over many years, but the first operational form of sonar as we now know it goes back to about 1918.
The oragin of the sonar in whales in dolpins. They were the first to use ecolocation to ee under water.
invented by the U.S. Navy in 1922 and by World War II became a strategic weapon for airborne, surface ship, and underwater surveillance
In 1915, Paul Langévin invented the first sonar type device for detecting submarines called an "echo location to detect submarines" using the piezoelectric properties of the quartz.
Albert Einstein was in his lab when he invented his first invention. Apparently, his first invention was not quite a success, so that is why his hairstyle is like this now.

In 1915, Paul Langévin invented the first sonar type device for detecting submarines called an "echo location to detect submarines" using the piezoelectric properties of the quartz. He was too late to help very much with the war effort, however, Langévin's work heavily influenced future sonar designs. The first Sonar devices were passive listening devices - no signals were sent out. By 1918, both Britain and the U.S had built active systems, in active Sonar signals are both sent out and then received back. Acoustic communication systems are Sonar devices where there is both a sound wave projector and receiver on both sides of the signal path. The invention of the acoustic transducer and efficient acoustic projectors made more advanced forms of Sonar possible.

It was Lewis Nixon who invented the very first sonar-type listening device in 1906.

Most likely it was some unknown bosun's mate that worked in the sonar lab at the Navy Bureau of Ordinance.
When you have an invention, the first step is to get a patent for the invention.
