As mentioned in Quran, the Muslims holy book, God (Allah) is who named His believers by Muslims.

Quran says (meaning English translation)

"When his Lord said to him (to Ibrahim or Abraham), Be a Muslim, he said: I submit myself to the Lord of the worlds. (131) And the same did Ibrahim enjoin on his sons and (so did) Yaqoub (Jacob). O my sons! surely Allah has chosen for you (this) faith, therefore die not unless you are Muslims.(132)"

[Quran. chapter 2, verse 132]
