Trombones were made as the first chromatic instruments. Slides were easier to invent than valves thus the Trombone (or rather its ancestor, the sackbut) was the first instrument that could use notes other than the fundamental harmonic series.
The word "trombone" comes from the Italian word for Trumpet (tromba) and the suffix "-one" (pronounced "oh-neh"), which implies that something is bigger. So, the literal translation of the word trombone is "big trumpet".
The trombone is a brass instrument because sound is produced by the vibration of the player's lips in the mouthpiece.
The tuba is named after the person who invented the tuba.
But I don't know who invented the tuba
Trombones are made of brass.
Pan American made the Champion trombone. Although I have one Champion trombone whose design would seem to pre-date the Pan Am company.

There is no other instrument other than the trombone with a slide. There are variations of the trombone though. For example, there is a trombone made with a slide and valves. There are also different types of trombones. There is the bass trombone, tenor trombone, alto trombone, soprano trombone (slide trumpet), and piccolo trombone. (Please note that the soprano trombone, or slide trumpet, does not have valves. It is also called a slide trumpet because it has the same exact range, sounds like a trumpet, and uses a trumpet mouth piece.) There has also been plastic, wooden, and metal trombones made. I hope that this helped!
