ASL comes heavily from LSF, or French Sign Language. Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet and Laurent Clerc brought French signs over to the US and founded the first Deaf school, ASD.
American Sign Language (ASL) was not created by a single individual. It evolved naturally over time from various sources, including French Sign Language, Indigenous signs, and home signs used by Deaf communities in the United States. It became recognized as a distinct language in its own right in the early 19th century.

American Sign Language was once known {or referred to} (primarily by hearing people, or disability advocacy groups such as the American Red Cross) as Ameslan.

Currently, it is more proper to refer to this Sign Language as American Sign Language rather than Ameslan.
