What is the name of inventor pavlova?

The inventor of the dessert pavlova is unknown, but it is commonly believed to have originated from New Zealand or Australia in the early 20th century. The dessert is named after the Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova, who toured Australia and New Zealand in 1926 and 1929. There is some evidence to suggest that the dessert was created in her honour, but this is not definitively known.
