It's a bit iffy... it's been said that it was invented in Meringen, Switzerland by Italian chef, Gasparini, but supposedly it's more probable that the name came from Francois Massialot's cook book. Lady Elinor Fettiplace of Appleton in Berkshire (Oxfordshire) and Lady Rachel Fane of Knole Kent both created confections recognized as meringues under different names, white biskit bread and pets, respectively.
