The writer John Harington (or Harrington, 1561-1612) designed the flush toilet called the Ajax in 1596, in an effort to replace the system of chamberpots (which had to be moved by servants to far from the bedchambers after use). His godmother, Queen Elizabeth I, was reported to have found the system too noisy in use.

John Harington (or Harrington, 1561-1612), godson of Queen Elizabeth I, devised a water closet called the Ajax in 1596, but it did not gain wide acceptance in England.
The toilet was invented by Sir John Harington in 1590.
The invention of the flush toilet dates to the 1590's and is credited to Sir John Harington.

The term "John" as a slang for bathroom is thought to have originated from Sir John Harington, an English courtier. He is credited with inventing the modern flushing toilet in the late 16th century, hence the association. Over time, the term "John" became a colloquialism for the toilet or bathroom.
It's "Harrington", and he was born in 1539.
he died at his house in Somerset england
