A geocentric model places the Earth as the center axis of the universe. It originated with Anaximander.
No. He only came with the idea of a heliocentric model. (Sun-centred) He also stated that the Earth orbited around it.
The Greek philosopher Aristarchus of Samos is credited with first questioning the geocentric theory in the 3rd century BC. He proposed a heliocentric model in which the Earth and other planets revolve around the Sun.
The geocentric model of the universe was proposed by ancient Greek astronomers like Aristotle and Ptolemy. This model placed the Earth at the center of the universe with celestial bodies orbiting around it.
Aristarchus came up with the heliocentric model of the solar system about the same time that Aristotle developed the geocentric model. But since it was OBVIOUS that the Sun went around the Earth, the geocentric model prevailed for about 1800 years before Copernicus realized that the math worked better if the Sun was at the center.
The geocentric model places Earth at the center of the solar system, with planets and stars revolving around it. This model was widely accepted until the heliocentric model, which has the Sun at the center, was proposed by Copernicus in the 16th century.
no one actually came up with it but ptolomy came up with the first model of it or you could say aristotle

You're probably thinking of Ptolmey, though the geocentric model predates Socrates and we're not sure who first came up with it.
Claudius Ptolemy
There is no geocentric model of the earth!
Aristotle supported the geocentric model, which placed Earth at the center of the universe. He did not propose a heliocentric model with the Sun at the center. It was later astronomers like Copernicus who challenged the geocentric model in favor of a heliocentric one.

The heliocentric model is the one that replaces the geocentric model because the heliocentric model better described the solar system.
Geocentric model. This has earth at the centre. We now know this not to be true.

Yes, that's what "geocentric" means.
