The term 'mentioner' originated from the word 'mention,' which entered the English language in the late 14th century from Old French. The suffix '-er' is commonly added to verbs to create agent nouns. In the context of social media, the term gained popularity with the rise of platforms like Twitter and Instagram, where users can mention others in their posts.
