Who introduced the term Malayo-Polynesian for Austronesian languages?

The German scholar Wilhelm von Humboldt is generally credited with coining the term Malayo-Polynesian to describe the language family now known as Austronesian. Although Humboldt is recognized for originating the name, it first appeared in print in an 1841 publication by his contemporary, the German linguist Franz Bopp.1

Later, in 1906, the Austrian anthropologist and linguist Wilhelm Schmidt introduced the term Austronesian as a replacement for the older family name. Since the mid-1960s, the designation Malayo-Polynesian has been restricted to specific large subgroups within the Austronesian family rather than being used to refer to the entire language family.1
