You have read what you have read because scholars differ regarding the matter.

Some say the first one to name him with this was the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam).

Others say the People of the Book named him with this.

Finally, some say Jibriil named him with this.

Allaah knows best.

That is why I asked. You are not alone. Mine won't work either. I suspect everyone's is because all the posts, if you notice, are from July. No one seems to have been able to post after that.
