MP3 stand for MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3, in which MPEG in turn stands for Motion Pictures Experts Group.

The MP3 format we use today was refined by a woman called Karlheinz Brandenburg. However the MP3 was first released to public in the form of a software MP3 encoder called L3enc by the Fraunhoer Society on the 7th of July 1994.

Basically MP3 is a combination of compression technologies designed to lower the file sizes of audio data (e.g. music), by primarily removing the data for sounds that most humans can't hear (e.g. high pitched sounds). There has been many people who worked on different parts of the MP3 format, (spanning decades), that it is really hard to say who, in terms of one person, invented mp3.
