According to an article in Wikipedia:
The name was first used by the German originator of the continental drift theory, Alfred Wegener, in the 1920 edition of his book The Origin of Continents and Oceans (Die Entstehung der Kontinente und Ozeane), in which a postulated supercontinent Pangaea played a key role.
NOTE that's there's an extra "a" in the name: Pangaea.

"Pangaea" comes from Greek roots meaning "all earth". The term was first used in print by Alfred Wegener in his work "Die Entstehung der Kontinente und Ozeane" in 1920, according to the Online Etymology Dictionary.
