It was Henri Poincare who actually first suggested it, after James Clerk Maxwell himself noticed that his equations for electromagnetism weren't invariant under Galilean transforms, but under Lorentzian transforms, named after Hendrick Lorentz who also made a simliar proposal, along with George Fitzgerald. Poincare was so intrigued about this curious property of invariant transformations of the Maxwell equations of EM that he developed the Poincare group of such transforms. All of them carried on a correspondence with each other on this subject, fully and exactly aware of the equations that later famously became the basis of Einstein's Special Relativity.

Einstein was the first to actually take the equations seriously, after everybody else had dismissed them as an improbable odditiy that needed further explanation. He even had attended lectures by Maxwell on the equations of EM, and the transformation problems with them.
