Ivy Mike.
The previous answer, "Fat boy," is a mash-up of the names of the first two atomic bombs used in warfare. Little Boy, a U-235 fission bomb, was dropped on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945; it used a "gun" to bring two chunks of Uranium together to create a critical mass. Three days later, Fat Man, a plutonium fission weapon, was dropped on Nagasaki. The prototype implosion device for this second weapon, called "The Gadget" was tested at Trinity site in New Mexico on July 16, 1945. All three of these employed nuclear fission for their destructive power.
The first nuclear fusion explosion ("hydrogen bomb") was tested at Eniwetok Atoll in the Marshall Islands of the Pacific Ocean on November 1, 1952. The project was known as Operation Ivy and the first test, Mike, gives rise to the name "Ivy Mike" which you can find in a simple internet search.

Why a hydrogen bomb is called a hydrogen bomb?
A hydrogen bomb is called so because it mainly relies on the fusion of hydrogen isotopes to release energy. The fusion process is what distinguishes it from an atomic bomb, which relies on nuclear fission.

Ivy.There were 2 tests in this series:Mike - first test of Teller-Ulam configuration hydrogen bomb design, 10 to 12 megatonsKing - test of highest yield pure fission atomic bomb design. 500 kilotons
Why do hydrogen bombs produce radioactive waste?
Although the name suggests that the bomb solely uses nuclear fusion to create mass destruction, a Hydrogen bomb actually contains both fission and fusion fuels. Since fusion requires such a high energy input to initiate, a fission bomb is required to detonate the fusion component of the Hydrogen bomb, thereby releasing nuclear waste and radiation.

The bomb - fat boy , the plane The Enola Gay
