List of Inventors

Here is large list of Inventors sorted by what they invented


Here is a list of our favorite inventors. The list has famous inventors such as Thomas Edison and Alexander Graham Bell, but also names that you may not have heard of, like the persons who invented the Teddy Bear or soft drinks.

The most interesting to us are the ones where the inventor's name resembles the name of what they invented. For example, the person who invented the Saxophone was named Antoine-Joseph Sax and the person who invented Morse code was named Samuel F.B. Morse.

The list also includes other interesting trivia: Did you know, for example, that Levi Strauss invented jeans and that George Eastman invented the camera?

Our inventors are listed in alphabetical order by what they invented, not by their names.
