Definitions and meaning of helium

helium

Etymology

From New Latin helium, from Ancient Greek ἥλιος (hḗlios, sun) (because its presence was first theorised in the Sun's atmosphere) with the suffix +‎ -ium. Probably coined by Norman Lockyer. This suffix is unusual, because it is usually used only for metallic elements. It is likely that Lockyer, being an astronomer, was unaware of the usual chemical conventions.
