There are two origins of the term.
The term "Libertarian" was originally coined in the [[File:Enlightenment.png]] [[Enlightenment Thought]] [[File:Enlightenment.png]] to describe supporters of ''free will'' (as opposed to determinism) and with it generally ''free action.'' With the first recorded usage of the term being in ''1789 ''in reference to metaphysics''. ''While the first political usage belongs to the [[File:Libsoc.png]] [[Libertarian Socialism|libertarian communist, Joseph Déjacque]], who used the French word ''libertaire'' in a letter to [[File:Mutalist.png]] [[Mutualism|Pierre-Joseph Proudhon]]. Déjacque also started employing the term [[File:Awaj.png]] [[Anarchism]] at a similar time to Proudhon, but conceded it to him, calling Proudhon a "[[File:Synthesis_Market_Anarchism.png]] center-right anarchist, [[File:Clib.png]] [[Classical Liberalism|liberal]] and not [[File:Libsoc.png]] [[Libertarian Socialism|libertarian]] (...) you want free trade for cotton and the candle...", in favor of identifying as a "Libertarian" only.
Déjacque, from 1858 to 1861, ran a paper titled “The Libertarian”, but it wasn’t very successful, and only lasted around 3 years.
