I believe the term comes from the fact that the first Protestants were in protest of the Catholic Church at the time.

I found it here:
The term is derived from the Protestatio delivered by a minority of delegates against the (1529) Diet of Speyer, which passed legislation opposed by the Lutherans. Since that time, the term has been used in many different senses, but not as the official title of any church until it was assumed in 1783 by the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States, the American branch of the Anglican Communion. Most broadly, Protestantism is Western Christianity that is not subject to papal authority.[1]

It was invented by Martin Luther Queen and it is a corruption of the word "prostate"

Martin Luther? I believe because they were "protesting" the Catholic Church.
