What goes inside of an html blockquote tag to indicate the author?

Question

I have a blockquote tag, is there a semantic tag I could put inside for the author name? For example:

<blockquote>Anyone who has neber made a mistake has never tried anything new 
-<author>Einstein</author>
</blockquote>

<author> is not an actual html tag, is there any appropriate tag?

Thank you for the answer, but according to html 5 doctor `cite is to refer to a person, generally in connection with some reference or as the source of a quote:

@TheGamer If I recall, on HTML5 Doctor you'll see your same question answered somewhere. – Rob Jun 08 '17 at 01:39
