People who introduce new ideas, methods, or technologies.
From Latin 'innovare' (to renew, make new), combining 'in-' (into) and 'novare' (to make new, from 'novus' meaning new). The agent noun '-ator' identifies the person who innovates.
The root 'novus' (new) is the same Latin word that gives us 'nova' for exploding stars—so innovators are literally people who create new things, like stars being born.
