The Volt unit is named after Alessandro Volta, an Italian physicist who invented an electric battery.
A year after Volta first introduced his voltaic pile he presented his invention to the French National Institute, in which Napoleon Bonaparte was in attendance. In honor of Volta's invention, his name is used as the unit of electromotive measurement known as a volt.hat is, not until the Italian physicist Alessandro Volta came along. In 1800, Volta created the first modern day battery when he built what came to be known as his voltaic pile. The pile was made of up of zinc and copper plates with vinegar-or brine-dampened pieces of leather or pasteboard placed in between each plate.
