The modern day history of Jehovah's Witnesses started with Charles Taze Russell. .The name for the organization was adopted in 1931.

According to Isaiah 43 v 10, prior to this date, the Jewish people were referred to as "God's (Jehovah) witnesses" - "Ye [are] My witnesses, an affirmation of Jehovah [...]" (Youngs Literal Translation) - and Jehovah's Witnesses today believe the name can be applied to all God's servants past and present including Jesus Christ.
