Though there is some dispute about the origin of pavlova, research indicates it was invented in 1926.

It is a meringue dessert which was named after Anna Pavlova, a Russian Ballet dancer, who was on tour in 1926 and 1929, and whose dances were best described as light and airy, similar to the dessert.

Despite claims that pavlova is an Australian dessert, evidence indicates that the pavlova was originally from New Zealand. The Australian claim is that it was invented by a Perth chef in 1935; New Zealand claims are based on a recipes in a magazine and a cookery book from 1929 and 1933, with additional reports from a biographer stating that it was invented in 1926 after Anna Pavlova's visit.

The pavlova was named in Australia on 3 October 1935.
