History

NameIronVanadium
HistoryThe element Iron was discovered by Unknown in year Before 5000 BCE. Iron derived its name from English word (ferrum in Latin).The element Vanadium was discovered by M. del Río in year 1801 in Mexico and Sweden. Vanadium derived its name from Vanadis, an Old Norse name for the Scandinavian goddess Freyja.
