Otto Hahn given name Otto
NS Otto Hahn, the only European nuclear-powered civilian ship (1964),
a crater on the Moon (shared with his namesake Friedrich von Hahn),
and the asteroid 19126 Ottohahn,
the Otto Hahn Prize of both the German Chemical and Physical Societies and the city of Frankfurt/Main,
the Otto Hahn Medal and the Otto Hahn Award of the Max Planck Society,
and the Otto Hahn Peace Medal in Gold of the United Nations Association of Germany (DGVN) in Berlin (1988).Proposals were made at various times, first in 1971 by American chemists, that the newly synthesised element 105 should be named hahnium in Hahn's honour, but in 1997 the IUPAC named it dubnium, after the Russian research centre in Dubna. In 1992 element 108 was discovered by a German research team, and they proposed the name hassium (after Hesse). In spite of the long-standing convention to give the discoverer the right to suggest a name, a 1994 IUPAC committee recommended that it be named hahnium. After protests from the German discoverers, the name hassium (Hs) was adopted internationally in 1997.
