Tough question.
I have the Complete OED and every word in it shows when that word appeared for the first time in print. Sometimes, it is obvious who invented the word sometimes not.

I can think of a few people who did purposely invent a new vocabulary -
Perhaps the writer of 'A Boke of Kokery' (a book of cookery) about 1440AD could be said to have invented a vocabulary because she/he changed existing French words into new 'English'
There was also Gurdjieff & George Orwell in '1984'/

Also, Shakespeare -
often turned nouns (of the time) into verbs eg ghosted, dog

used hyphenated compounds eg Hugger-mugger, giant-world, baby-eyes, smooth-facd

Specific communities tend to create their own vocabulary. By communities, we do not mean geographic communities alone. Thus, the gay community has its lingo, and so do the advertising community, the showbiz community, the journalists, the medical community etc. Words are invented, evolved, and eventually adapted as part of lingua franca.
