I assume you're asking WHO made the name <i>science</i>.
No one knows. Words usually gradually come into use and are often based on older, similar words.
Here's the etymology from Dictionary.com.
"Origin:
1300–50; ME < MF < L scientia knowledge, equiv. to scient- (s. of sciçns), prp. of scîre to know + -ia -ia"
This means that the word <i>science</i> originally was used in the early 1300s. It came from the Latin word meaning "to know."
