As he was the commander of the craft, Frank Frederick Borman, II is recorded as the first man to fly around the Moon.
The others on board Apollo 8 with him were Jim Lovell and Bill Anders.
The first spacecraft to orbit the moon was the Soviet Union's Luna 10, which achieved lunar orbit on April 3, 1966. Luna 10 returned valuable data about the moon's magnetic field and radiation environment during its mission.
There were two Apollo missions that orbited the moon without landing. Apollo 8, carrying the first humans to ever be inside the gravitational influence of anything besides the earth, entered lunar orbit December 24, 1968. Apollo 10, as a dress rehearsal of the first landing, had the LM orbit all the way down to within 9 miles of the moon's surface, but did not actually land. The crew entered orbit May 22, 1969.
Apollo 8 was the first mission to orbit the moon. Its crew was Frank Borman, James Lovell, and William Anders.
The phase of the moon when it's halfway around its orbit is a first quarter moon. This occurs when the moon has completed one quarter of its orbit around Earth, with the sun illuminating half of the side facing us.
Neil Armstrong was the first human to poop on the moon.
Apollo 8 was the first spacecraft to orbit the moon.
No one has ever orbited Mercury, actually no human has ever gone farther than the Moon.

The first human on the moon was Neil Armstron.
The moon orbits our planet. Planets do not orbit moon. A moon is a moon because it orbits planets. The reverse of your question, 'What was the first moon to orbit a planet.', is hard to say. Moons are formed in different ways and because of this can be made of materials that existed long before they became moons.
Yuri Gagarin of the Soviet Union was the first human to orbit the Earth.
Frank Borman, James Lovell, and William Anders were the first people to orbit the moon in the Apollo 8 spacecraft.
