Nylon is a generic designation for a family of synthetic polymers first produced on February 28, 1935 by Gerard J. Berchet of Wallace Carothers' research group at DuPont. The naming probably came from Dupont. Not sure if they let the group that discovered it name it or if they used marketing people to come up with a name that they felt consumers would like. Dupont has also invented and named other substances like Teflon,and Kevlar.
