Discovery of hydrogen is usually attributed to Henry Cavendish, a British chemist who prepared it in 1766, and called it "flammable air". Others had actually made it before then, but did not recognize that they had produced a new and different substance. Lavoisier in the 1780s gave hydrogen its name, and had the first modern insight into its true chemical nature.
