The Pacific Timezone, for example, remains even when the clocks there are at PST+1.The name "Summer Time" is far more popular around the world than the name "Daylight Saving Time" for the semiannual clock adjustments. Countries that use that name add the word "Summer" before the word "Time" to differentiate between their two time offsets. For example, Central European Time (UTC+1) becomes Central European Summer Time (UTC+2), and Brasilia Time (UTC-3) becomes Brasilia Summer Time (UTC-2).

Who first conceived the idea of daylight saving time and when?
Benjamin Franklin first suggested Daylight Saving Time in 1784, but modern DST was not proposed until 1895 when an entomologist from New Zealand, George Vernon Hudson, presented a proposal for a two-hour daylight saving shift to the Wellington Philosophical Society. The conception of DST was mainly credited to an English builder, William Willett in 1905, when he presented the idea to advance the clock during the summer months. His proposal was published two years later and introduced to the House of Commons in February 1908. The first Daylight Saving Bill was examined by a select committee but was never made into a law. It wasn't until World War I, in 1916, that DST was adopted and implemented by several countries in Europe who initially rejected the idea.
