فهرست ریشه نام عنصرهای شیمیایی

این مقاله فهرستی از ریشه‌شناسی نام عنصرهای شیمیایی جدول تناوبی است.

 پیشینه 
در طول تاریخ شیمی، چندین عنصر شیمیایی کشف شده‌است. در قرن نوزدهم،  مندلیف جدول تناوبی را فرموله کرد، جدولی که ساختار عنصرها را توصیف می‌کند. از آنجا که عنصرها در زمان‌ها و مکان‌های گوناگون، از دوران باستان تا به امروز کشف شده‌اند، نام آن‌ها از چندین زبان و فرهنگ گرفته شده‌است،به ویژه زبان های یونانی باستان و لاتین باستان و تمدن یونان و روم باستان.

 جدول 
 عنصر سرچشمهٔ زبانی عبارت ریشه معنی سرچشمهٔ نام گذاری توضیح   1  هیدروژن  H  در اصل یونانی به واسطهٔ لاتین و فرانسوی  ὕδωρ (ریشه: ὑδρ-) + -γενής (-ژن)  آب‌ساز  توصیفی  از عبارت فرانسوی hydrogène و لاتین hydro- و -genes، برگرفته از عبارت یونانی ὕδωρ γείνομαι (hydor geinomai)، به معنی "من آب می‌زایم". 2  هلیم  He  یونانی  ἥλιος (هلیوس)  خورشید  ستاره‌شناسی؛افسانه‌اینام‌گذاری از عبارت یونانی ἥλιος (هلیوس)، که به معنی خورشید در آسمان یا خورشید خدای یونانی است. این عنصر از طیف‌سنجی پرتوهای خورشید شناسایی شد. 3  لیتیم  Li  یونانی  λίθος (لیتوس)  سنگ  از عبارت یونانی λίθος (لیتوس) به معنی "سنگ"، چون از روی سنگ معدنی شناسایی شد در حالی که دیگر عناصر قلیایی مانند سدیم و پتاسیم از بافت‌های گیاهی شناسایی شدند. 4  بریلیم  Be  زبان سانسکریت، پالی و پراکریت به واسطۀ یونانی، لاتین و فرانسوی باستان و انگلیسی میانه  شهر بلور و عبارت یونانی βήρυλλος (بریلوس)  زمرد (بریل).  توصیفی (از روی رنگ): بریلβήρυλλος beryllos، denoting beryl، which contains beryllium.At one time، beryllium was called glucinium، which is from Greek γλυκύς (glykys)، which means "sweet"، due to the sweet taste of its salts. The word is derived (via Latin: beryllus and French: béryl) from the Greek βήρυλλος، bērullos، a blue-green spar، from Prakrit veruliya (वॆरुलिय)، from Pāli veḷuriya (वेलुरिय)؛ veḷiru (भेलिरु) or، viḷar (भिलर्)، "to become pale،" in reference to the pale semiprecious gemstone beryl. The word is ultimately derived from the Sanskrit word वैडूर्य vaidurya، which might be related to the name of the Indian city of Belur. 5  بور  B  زبان عربی، لاتین قرون وسطی، زبان آنگلو-نورمن، فرانسوی میانه، و انگلیسی میانه  بورق (buraq)   از عبارت لاتین بوراکس که خود از بوره از فارسی (عربی) آمده  از عبارت عربی بورق (buraq)، که ریشه در ماده بوراکس دارد. که احتمالاً ریشه در زبان فارسی و عبارت بوره (burah) دارد. بوره وارد عربی و سپس وارد زبان لاتین قرون وسطی شد و به شکل baurach، درآمد پس از آن وارد آنگلو-نورمن شد و به شکل boreis در آمد این عبارت در انگلیسی میانه به شکل boras، پذیرفته شد که ریشهٔ نام امروزی آن در انگلیسی به صورت "boron" (بور) است. 6  کربن  C  لاتین به واسطهٔ فرانسوی  carbone  زغال  لاتین کاربو از عبارت فرانسوی کاربن، which in turn came from Latin carbō، which means "charcoal" and is related to carbōn، which means "a coal". (The  German and زبان هلندی names، "Kohlenstoff" and "koolstof"، respectively، both literally mean "coal matter".) These words were derived from the زبان نیا-هندواروپایی base *ker- meaning heat، fire، or to burn. 7  نیتروژن  N  Greek via Latin and French  νίτρον (Latin: nitrum) -γενής (-genes)  native-soda begetter  descriptive From French "nitrogène"، derived from Greek νίτρον γείνομαι (nitron geinomai)، meaning "I form/beget native-soda (niter)".Nitrogen، The pure gas is inert enough that Antoine Lavoisier referred to it as "azote"، meaning "without life"، since animals placed in it died of asphyxiation. This term became the French for nitrogen and later spread to many other languages.Also used was azoth، from Andalusian Arabic al-zuq، from the Classical Arabic name of the element. 8  اکسیژن  O  Greek via French  ὀξύ γείνομαι (oxy geinomai)/oxygène  to bring forth acid   From Greek ὀξύ γείνομαι (oxy geinomai)، which means "Ι bring forth acid"، as it was believed to be an essential component of acids. This phrase was corrupted into the French oxygène، which became the source of the English "oxygen". 9  فلوئور  F  Latin  fluor  a flowing  From فلئوریت، one of its ترکیب شیمیاییs (calcium fluoride، CaF2). 10  نئون  Ne  Greek  νέος (neos)  new  From Greek "νέος" (neos)، which means "new". 11 سدیم  Na  English  soda   From the English "بی‌کربنات سدیم"، used in names for :رده:ترکیب‌های سدیم such as سدیم هیدروکسید، سدیم کربنات، and بی‌کربنات سدیم. Probably from Italian sida (or directly from Medieval Latin soda) "a kind of saltwort،" from which soda was obtained، of uncertain origin.

The symbol Na is from the لاتین نوین noun natrium، derived from Greek νίτρον (nítron)، "natural soda، a kind of نمک (شیمی)" + Latin -ium.In Middle Ages Europe، sodanum is the Latin name of "a compound of sodium". The original source is either the Arabic word نطرون natrun or the زبان‌های مصری word R8-X1 netjeri. 12  منیزیم  Mg  Greek  Μαγνησία (Magnesia)   جای‌نام From the Ancient Greek Μαγνησία (Magnesia) (district in تسالی)، where discovered. 13  آلومینیوم  Al  Latin  alumen  زاج (literally: bitter salt)  Latin زاج Latin زاج، which means "زاج" (literally "bitter salt"). 14  سیلیسیم  Si  Latin  silex، -icis  flint  descriptive From Latin "silex" or "silicis"، which means "سنگ آتشزنه"، a kind of stone (chiefly silicon dioxide). 15  فسفر  P  Greek via Latin  φῶς + -φόρος (phos + -phoros)  light-bearer  descriptive From Greek φῶς + -φόρος (phos + phoros)، which means "light bearer"، because white phosphorus emits a faint glow upon exposure to اکسیژن.Phosphorus was the ancient name for زهره، or هسپروس، the (Morning Star). 16  گوگرد  S  Latinزبان نیا-هندواروپایی  Old Latin sulpur(later sulphur، sulfur)PIE (genitive )،nominal derivative of .Mallory & Adams (2006) The Oxford introduction to Proto-Indo-European and the Proto-Indo-European world، Oxford University Press  > PIE  'to burn'  Latin sulfur  The word came into Middle English from Anglo-Norman sulfre، itself derived through Old French soulfre from Late Latin sulfur. 17  کلر  Cl  Greek  χλωρός (chlorós)  pale green  descriptive (colour): Greek chloros From Greek χλωρός (chlorós)، which means "yellowish green" or "greenish yellow"، because of the colour of the gas. 18  آرگون  Ar  Greek  ἀργόν (argon)  inactive  descriptive: argon Greek argon means "inactive" (literally "slow"). 19  پتاسیم  K  لاتین نوین via زبان هلندی and English  potassa؛ potasch via پتاش  pot-ash   From the English "پتاش"، which means "pot-ash" (potassium compound prepared from an قلیا extracted in a pot from the ash of burnt wood or tree leaves).Potash is a literal translation of the زبان هلندی potaschen، which means "pot ashes". The symbol K is from the Latin name kalium، from زبان عربی القلي (al qalīy)، which means "calcined ashes". 20  کلسیم  Ca  Greek/Latin  χάλιξ/calx  χάλιξ means "pebble"، and calx means limestone  Latin آهک From Latin calx، which means "lime". Calcium was known as early as the first century when the روم باستان prepared آهک as اکسید کلسیم. 21  اسکاندیم  Sc  Latin  Scandia  Scandinavia  جای‌نام Named from Latin Scandia، which means اسکاندیناوی؛ formerly eka-boron. 22  تیتانیم  Ti  Greek ΤιτάνTitan(gen.: Τιτάνος)  Titans، sons of Gaia  mythological For the "تیتان (اساطیر یونان)"، the first sons of گایا (افسانه) in Greek mythology. 23  وانادیم  V  زبان نورس باستان  Vanadís  "Dís of the ونیر"  mythological From Vanadís، one of the names of the ونیر goddess فریا in اساطیر اسکاندیناوی، because of multicoloured ترکیب شیمیاییs deemed beautiful. 24  کروم  Cr  Greek via French  χρῶμα (chróma)  colour  descriptive (colour): Greek رنگ From Greek χρῶμα (chróma)، "colour"، because of its multicoloured compounds. This word was adapted as the French chrome، and adding the suffix -ium created the English "chromium". 25  منگنز  Mn  Greek via Latin، زبان ایتالیایی، and French  Μαγνησία(Magnesia؛Medieval Latin: magnesia) Magnesia  descriptive From Latin Magnesia، ultimately from Greek؛ Magnesia evolved into "manganese" in زبان ایتالیایی and into "manganèse" in French. 26  آهن  Fe  Anglo-Saxon via انگلیسی میانه īsern(earlier: īren/īsen)/yren/yron  holy metal or strong metal  descriptive: Anglo-Saxon From the انگلیسی باستان īsern  which is derived from Proto-Germanic isarnan meaning "holy metal" or "strong metal".The symbol Fe is from Latin ferrum، meaning "iron". 27  کبالت  Co  German  Kobold  evil spirit  German kobold From German Kobold، which means "evil spirit". The metal was named by miners، because it was poisonous and troublesome (آلودگی and degraded other mined elements، such as nickel). Other sources cite the origin in the silver miners' belief that cobalt had been placed by "Kobolds"، who had stolen the silver. Some also think that the name may have been derived from Greek κόβαλος، kobalos، which means "mine" and which may have common roots with kobold، goblin، and cobalt. 28  نیکل  Ni  زبان سوئدی via German  Kopparnickel/Kupfernickel  copper-coloured ore  descriptive From the زبان سوئدی kopparnickel، meaning "copper-coloured ore"؛ this referred to the ore نیکلین from which it was obtained.Nickel in Online Etymological Dictionary.

The Latin term، during the Roman Empire، was aes cyprium؛ "aes" was the generic term for copper alloys such as برنز). Cyprium means "قبرس" or "which is from Cyprus"، where so much of it was mined؛ it was simplified to cuprum and then eventually Anglicized as copper (Old English coper/copor). 30  روی  Zn  German  Zink  Cornet   From German Zink which is related to Zinken "prong، point"، probably alluding to its spiky crystals. May be derived from Old زبان فارسی. 31  گالیم  Ga  Latin  Gallia  Gaul (Ancient France)  جای‌نام From Latin Gallia، which means گل (سرزمین) (Ancient France)، and also gallus، which means "rooster". The element was obtained as free metal by پل-امیل لکو د بویسباودران، who named gallium after France، his native land، and also، punningly، after himself، as Lecoq، which means "the خروس"، or in Latin، gallus.
Gallium was called eka-aluminium by دمیتری مندلیف who predicted its existence.Previous to the discovery of some unknown elements، Prof. دمیتری مندلیف predicted and described most of their properties; with these، he was able to accurately place them in the gaps in his جدول تناوبی. The properties of four predicted elements، eka-boron (Eb)، eka-aluminium (El)، eka-manganese (Em)، and eka-silicon (Es)، proved to be good predictors of اسکاندیم، گالیم، تکنسیم and ژرمانیم، respectively. The prefix eka-، from the زبان سانسکریت، means "one" (one place down from a known element in the table)، and is sometimes used in discussions about undiscovered elements. For example، untriennium was referred to as eka-actinium. see also: عناصر پیش‌بینی‌شده توسط مندلیف  32  ژرمانیم  Ge  Latin  Germania  Germany  جای‌نام From Latin Germania، which means "Germany". Germanium has also been called eka-silicon by Mendeleev. 33  آرسنیک  As  زبان سریانی/زبان فارسی via Greek، Latin، فرانسوی باستان، and انگلیسی میانه  ἀρσενικόν (arsenikon)  orpiment  Greek نر From Greek ἀρσενικόν (arsenikon)، which is adapted from the زبان سریانی ܠܐ ܙܐܦܢܝܐ (al) zarniqa and زبان فارسی، زرنیخ (zarnik)، "yellow زرنیخ". Ἀρσενικόν (arsenikon) is paretymologically related to the Greek word ἀρσενικός (arsenikos)، which means "masculine" or "potent". These words were adapted as the Latin arsenicum and Old French arsenic، which is the source for the English arsenic. 34  سلنیم  Se  Greek  σελήνη (selene)  moon  astrological؛mythological From Greek σελήνη (selene)، which means "Moon"، and also moon-goddess سلنه. 35  برم  Br  Greek via French  βρόμος (brómos) author= Gemoll W، Vretska K|title= Griechisch-Deutsches Schul- und Handwörterbuch (Greek–German dictionary)، 9th ed.| publisher=öbvhpt|isbn= 3-209-00108-1|year= 1997}}</ref> || Greek بو|| βρόμος (brómos) means "stench (lit. clangor)"، due to its characteristic smell.

| 51 || آنتیموان || Sb || Greek? via Medieval Latin and انگلیسی میانه
| ἀντί + μόνος(anti monos)؛antimonium/antimonie || various || ||Possibly from Greek ἀντί + μόνος (anti monos)، approximately meaning "opposed to solitude"، as believed never to exist in pure form، or ἀντί + μοναχός (anti monachos) for "monk-killer" (in French folk etymology، anti-moine "monk's bane")، because many early alchemists were monks، and antimony is poisonous. This may also be derived from the فرعون (مصر باستانian)، Antos عمون (expression)، which could be translated as "bloom of the god Ammo".The symbol Sb is from Latin name stibium، which is derived from Greek Στίβι stíbi، a variant of στίμμι stimmi (genitive: στίμμεος or στίμμιδος)، probably a loan word from Arabic or Egyptian O34:D46-G17-F21:D4 sdm meaning "eyepaint".  Littré  suggests that the first form is derived from *stimmida، a hypothetical alternative حالت مفعولی of stimmi (the canonical accusative of the noun is the same as the nominative: stimmi). The Arabic word for the substance، as "mark" or "the cosmetic"، can appear as تحمیض، ثمود، وثمود، وثمود  ithmid، athmoud، othmod or uthmod.Antimony،

 LSJ ، s.v.، vocalisation، spelling، and declension vary; Endlich; Celsus، 6.6.6 ff; Pliny Natural History 33.33; Lewis and Short: Latin Dictionary. OED، s. antimony.
 stimmi is used by the Attic tragic poets of the 5th century BC. Later Greeks also used στίβι (stibi)، which is written in Latin by آلوس کورنلیوس سلسوس and پلینیوس in the first century AD. Pliny also names stimi ، larbaris، رخام گچی (Greek: ἀλάβαστρον)، "very common platyophthalmos (πλατυόφθαλμος)"، "wide-eye" in Greek (the description refers to the effects of the cosmetic). In Egyptian hieroglyphics، mśdmt; the vowels are uncertain، but in Coptic and according to an Arabic tradition، it is pronounced mesdemet (Albright; Sarton، quotes Meyerhof، the translator). In Arabic، the word for powdered stibnite is سرمه.

| 61 || پرومتیم || Pm || Greek || Προμηθεύς (Prometheus) || forethoughtThe ancient Greek derivation of Prometheus from the Greek πρό pro ("before") + μανθάνω manthano ("learn")، thus "forethought"، which engendered a contrasting brother اپیمتئوس ("afterthought")، was a ریشه‌شناسی عامیانه; it is succinctly expressed in Servius' commentary on Virgil، Eclogue 6.42: "Prometheus vir prudentissimus fuit، unde etiam Prometheus dictus est ἀπὸ τής πρόμηθείας، id est a providentia." Modern scientific linguistics suggests that the name derived from the Proto-Indo-European root that also produces the سانسکریت ودایی pra math، "to steal،" hence pramathyu-s، "thief"، هم‌خانواده with "Prometheus"، the thief of fire. The Vedic myth of fire's theft by Mātariśvan is an analog to the Greek account. Pramantha was the tool used to create fire. See: Fortson، Benjamin W. (2004).
