It was in 1947 by Capt. Chuck Yeager (US) while he was in X-1 experimental aircraft.
There was not a special name for the first flight that went faster than the speed of sound. However, when a plane does go faster than sound, it said to be traveling at supersonic speeds.
It was referred to as breaking the sound barrier.
There are a number of claims concerning the first plane to fly faster than sound but some of these claims can not be verified or took place in circumstances which did not count as powered level flight. It is generally accepted that first flight faster than sound that could be officially documented was achieved by Chuck Yeager on October 14, 1947.

Chuck Yeager is the first person to fly faster than sound (breaking the sound barrier), or MACH 1, on October 14, 1947 during level flight at an altitude of 45,000 ft.
The Concorde was one such flight which can make out a mac no of 1..thereby defeating the speed of sound..

A sonic boom occurs by an object traveling through the air faster than the speed of sound.

In faster-than-sound flight, a plane can experience a shockwave known as a sonic boom. This is caused when the plane reaches and exceeds the speed of sound, resulting in a sudden, loud noise like a thunderclap. It is a strange phenomenon that can be disruptive and alarming for those on the ground.
