Answer by  LeheckaG (1826)

In 1946, Louis Réard invented the modern bikini in France. He named it after Bikini (Pik-in-ni = "surface coconut") Atoll, its introduction on French beaches was like an atomic explosion. Jacques Heim, France, designed an earlier version called the "Atome", and Reard "split" it; other precursors date back to Çatalhöyük & Greco-Roman civilizations.

The bikini is a French thing, but when you see a hot girl wearing one, I am pretty sure you don't care where bikinis came from!

It was invented by a Frenchman called Louis Reard in the 1940's. The word bikini is named after a place in the Pacific Ocean called "The Bikini Atoll". This is unfortunate since that small island was the location for nuclear weapon testing.
