Within two years after the game was invented (volleyball was invented in 1895). Observers picked up on the rule that the ball could not touch the floor and began calling the game 'volley ball' which was eventually changed to 'volleyball'.

Volleyball was invented by G.Morgan in 1895. The idea for the game was from Badminton. Hence G.Morgan named it mintonette in the beginning.

Because when players played it, one of William G. Morgan's( the inventor of Volleyball) friends saw a volley and named it that.
