There were Witnesses of Jehovah God long before Jesus was on earth. Really, anyone who serves Jehovah God, is 'by-nature' one of Jehovah's Witnesses. Actually, in The Bible, Able is listed as the first Witness of Jehovah God.
Even Jesus is called in Revelation as 'a faithful witness'. Therefore Jesus was also a Witness of Jehovah God.
Answer: No human started Jehovah's Witnesses. Not even Jesus started it on earth. I suppose that really Jehovah God himself started it, by CREATING Humans to BE HIS WITNESSES. Jehovah didn't want Adam & Eve to be witnesses of his adversary, Satan.
If you are just limiting your question to modern times - - - well, the name 'Jehovah's Witnesses, was available for anyone before 1931. But no one wanted anything to do with that name 'Jehovah'. They had all been taught to worship his son, Jesus. For many people, just the word 'Jehovah' is an aversion (meaning it makes their stomach crawl).
But there was a group that called themselves 'Bible Students'. They saw that many Bible translations deleted God's personal name from their Bibles. This bothered them. So in 1931 they drew up a Resolution; and determined to being called by what they really already were, Witnesses of Jehovah God. To shorten it up, they called themselves: Jehovah's Witnesses.

What do Jehovah's Witnesses believe about Christ's divinity and humanity?
Jehovah's Witnesses believe Christ to be divine in nature but do not believe him to be Almighty God. They believe Jesus had a prehuman existence as God's first Created being and that he was the "master worker" through whom God created everthing in existence. At this time he was indeed "divine" or "godlike" in nature.While on earth however, the Witnesses hold that human and not a "god-man" (part human part God). They believe he was the perfect human son of God of divine origins but fully human equal to the perfect man Adam. Since his resurrection they hold that Jesus is a mighty, glorious divine spirit, incorruptible and immortal but still subordinate to his Father.Source: Watchtower Sept 15, 1961
