The earliest recorded observation of the Andromeda Galaxy was in 964 CE by the Persian astronomer, Abd al-Rahman al-Sufi (Azophi) who described it as a "small cloud" in his Book of Fixed Stars.
Other star charts of that period have it labeled as the Little Cloud. The first description of the object based on telescopic observation was given by Simon Marius in 1612. Charles Messier catalogued it as object M31 in 1764 and incorrectly credited Marius as the discoverer, unaware of Al Sufi's earlier work.
Because the Andromeda Galaxy or M31 is a major galaxy and is found in the constellation Andromeda.

The Andromeda galaxy was named after the princess Andromeda from Greek mythology. The constellation Andromeda, in which the galaxy is found, is also named after her. It was named as such because of its proximity to the constellation and its association with the myth.
We expect the Andromeda galaxy to be just like our own Milky Way galaxy. We can see stars (suns) in the Andromeda Galaxy and just as stars have planets orbiting them in our galaxy, we believe that there must be planets also orbiting stars in the Andromeda galaxy.
Abd al-Rahman al-Sufi was a Persian astronomer of the 10th century, who wrote the 'Book of Fixed Stars' in 964 AD. He is thought to have made the first recorded observation of the Andromeda galaxy, although it wasnt recognised as a separate galaxy from our own until well into the 20th century.
It's fair to say that our own galaxy was discovered first.
