I remember REPL back until the early 80s.  Wikipedia does not contradict
and adds a bit more:

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Read%E2%80%93eval%E2%80%93print_loop>

    History

    In 1964, the expression READ-EVAL-PRINT cycle is used by L. Peter
    Deutsch and Edmund Berkeley for an implementation of Lisp on the
    PDP-1.

    Since at least the 1980s, the abbreviations REP Loop and REPL are
    attested in the context of Scheme.
