Mountains don't have "first names" in the same sense people do, as a general rule, so I assume you're asking what the earliest name of the mountain was.

The letter by letter equivalent of the name used for it by ancient Greek writers would be Ouesouion or Ouesouioz. The latter of these two would have been written "Vesuvius" by classical Latin speakers, and pronounced approximately weh-sue-wee-oos.
