Who discovered water boils at 212 degrees?

No-one did! A guy called Daniel Fahrenheit proposed a temperature scale where one of the reference points was the temperature of the boiling point of water which he arbitrarilly set at 212 degrees or more precisly 2120F This scale is now only used in the US the rest of us have switched to Celsius (often called centigrade) where the boiling point of water is 1000C

Why is it called Fahrenheit?

The Fahrenheit temperature scale was named after its creator, Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit, a physicist and engineer who developed the scale in the early 18th century. He based his scale on three reference points: the freezing point of a brine solution, the average human body temperature, and the freezing point of water.
