Etymology

The word 'aluminum' originated in the early 19th century, derived from the Latin word 'alumen' meaning alum. The element was first isolated in 1825 by Hans Christian ร˜rsted and was initially named 'alumium,' but later changed to 'aluminum' to align with other elements' names. Aluminum has since become a crucial material in various industries due to its unique properties and abundance.
