The term "Negro Leagues" was popularized in the early 20th century to describe the various professional Baseball leagues that were formed by African American players, primarily during the era of racial segregation in the United States. The name "Negro" was commonly used at the time to refer to Black individuals and was adopted by those involved in the leagues. While there isn't a single individual credited with naming it, the term became widely accepted as these leagues gained prominence, particularly in the 1920s and 1930s.
