Electric fish were used in medicine by the ancient Romans,
well before electricity was invented.
What they called it - I do not know. You could look
in ancient medical texts if you really wanted to
know, but it'd be in Latin.

The probability of it is that they didn't discover the electric eel until long after electricity was discovered...so it doesn't really matter.

and so has electricity

or did people not use their brains before electricity was invented.???
