Julius Caesar created the modern calendar in 46 BC, and it was adopted by Rome in 45 BC.
His Julian Calendar of 365.25 days added winter months that were previously inconsistent, and used leap days to keep the seasons and the calendar in alignment.
The current form is also called the Gregorian Calendarfor Pope Gregory XIII, who in October 1582 introduced the adjustment of the Julian calendar by skipping 10 calendar days, recognizing that the year was actually slightly shorter than 365.25 days. This calendar removes the leap days from end-of-century years (e.g. 1800, 1900) unless the first 2 digits are evenly divisible by 4.
The calendar was technically first invented by the Ancient Egyptians.

Properly speaking, there is no "English" calendar system. You probably mean the predominant Western Calendar (also called the Christian Calendar). This calendar system is best called the "Gregorian Calendar", after Pope Gregory XIII who introduced the calendar system in 1582.
Historians do not know who or when mankind invented the first calendar, probably early man when he first carved a notch into a stick or a bone which marked the passing of each full moon. Notched bones used to record moon phases have been found in Africa and Europe dating back to about 20,500 BC. There are many different calendars invented by different cultures to suit their needs. The mayans created a calender, but I believe the calendar we use is based off of the Romans. Some also believe that the Sumerians invented the 12-month calendar.

No, Jesus did not invent the calendar. The modern calendar system in use today (the Gregorian calendar) was created centuries after Jesus' time, in the 16th century. It is based on the solar calendar introduced by Julius Caesar in 45 BCE.

The exact calendar that we used today was created by Pope Gregory XIII in the mid-1700s. The original basis for this calendar was the Julian Calendar (the difference between them was the timing of leap years) and the Julian Calendar was invented by Julius Caesar, Emperor of Rome.
The name of the person that invented the first calendar is not known. The first calendar was invented in Scotland.
