Hmmm.... the Englsih name for Wolfram is "Tungsten" ("heavy rock" in Swedish)? How come English use a Swedish word for it and we don't?!

Good question. :? :lol: It's true though, tungsten is definitely the most common name for it in English.

I love the word tungsteno (Italian flavour) :D I never wondered about its origin... :shock: Maybe it was discovered by some Swedish guy?

And the table in Italian... it uses a fancy font but it's the clearest I found:

Wow...the Italian version is not even flooded with stupid Latin words. All of the -um drove me insane back in high school chemistry.

I think that may be because Italian comes from Latin, so there is a natural way to derive those Latin endings, therefore the actual names are derived and they look like typical Italian words.

That's the same case in Spanish, Portuguese and Catalan as far as I know -- no idea about French or Romanian.

Yes, just like many other chemical elements. The most prominent Swedish discoverer of chemical elements was Carl Wilhelm Scheele (1742-1786) - born in Stralsund in the then Swedish part of the European mainland - who, apart from tungsten (1781) discovered e.g. oxygen (1771) and chlorine (1774).
