Edmund Halley was the fellow who first realized that the historical accounts of comets seemed to show that they were not solitary events; that they came back into view on a regular schedule. Examining the records, Halley calculated the probable orbit of the comet and concluded that the comet of 1682 was probably the same comet that had been seen in 1607 and before that in 1531. Halley predicted that the comet would once again be visible in 1758. When it was observed in December, 1758, it was dubbed "Halley's Comet", a title it retains.
To astronomers, Halley's Comet is called "1P/Halley"; the 1P indicates that in the catalog of comets, this is the first entry and that it is "Periodic".

Objects move fastest when they are closest to the primary object. In the case of Mercury, it moves fastest when it is closest to the Sun.
How often does halleys commet appear?
Every 76 years or so. The precise orbit is difficult to calculate precisely because the irregular thrust given off by escaping gasses, and by the variance of Halley's passes by the outer planets.
