Actually, he didn't. Bell Laboratories did, though they named it after their founder. They just needed a measurement for testing the signal strength and the losses from running long cables. They initially named it a TU (transmission unit), and the losses incurred by a mile of standard cable and a transmission unit had the same value. Then in 1928, they changed the name from TU to decibels. The deci+ part had to do with it being a logarithmic system based on ten, and the bel part was in honor of Alexander Graham Bell.
