Another Answer

From Wikipedia:

"The first confirmed historical mention of the Koh-i-noor by an identifiable name dates from 1526.

"It was allegedly Nader Shah who exclaimed Koh-i-Noor! when he finally managed to obtain the famous stone, and this is how the stone gained its present name. There is no reference to this name before 1739."
