There are a number of theories about this; we do know the word itself goes back to the 1570s, but the devices go back much farther-- to ancient China. Historians believe that fireworks evolved from displays of military rockets, but eventually, they came to be used during celebrations. Colorful rockets shooting up to the sky looked like bursts of fire or flame, hence the name fire-work (later fireworks).
