I have tried to find an answer and the first known depiction of him as an egg was from Alice in Wonderland but Lewis Carrol had based the egg thing on previous illustrations. The original source is still debated. It may have been the name of a canon, some say it was Richard the 3rd. Some say the rhyme originated from a riddle where the answer was that humpty is an egg. It's a legit mystery
