There is nothing on the name of the first prokaryote discovered. They didn't give genus and species names to them at the beginning. The first was a protozoa that Anton van Leeuwenhoek (1660) saw in a drop of pond water. For almost two centuries, the knowledge that the world teemed with small organisms was regarded as an interesting but rather irrelevant fact.
