The first volcano erupted as soon as Earth was formed billions of years ago, and humans obviously didn't exist then, so we had no name for it.

The first volcanic eruption that we currently have evidence for (in that these are the oldest volcanic rocks as yet discovered by man) occurred approximately 3.825 Billion years ago at a place known as Porpoise Cove on the shores of Hudson Bay in Northern Quebec in Canada.
