Walter Frederick Morrison originally created a flying disc called the "Pluto Platter" in the late 1940s. The name "Frisbee" came later when he sold the rights to the toy to the Wham-O company in 1955. The name was inspired by the Frisbie Pie Company, whose pie tins were used by college students for tossing before the disc became popular. This connection helped popularize the name and the toy itself.
