The first commercially available version was Gazoline named after somebody.

Also, it's the vapors that are combustable not the liquid.

    No. The liquid is absolutely also combustible.

    In an internal combustion engine the liquid gasoline is injected into the cylinder as an aerosol (air and small liquid droplet mixture) and then compressed and burned.

    There would be a gas component as it has a high vapor pressure and has undergone compression which increases temperature, but it is still majority liquid when burned.
