Etymology

The name 'manganese' comes from the Latin 'manganum', which means 'magnet' and is derived from the Greek word 'manganes' meaning 'magnetic'. The element was first identified in the 18th century by Swedish chemist Johan Gottlieb Gahn. Initially, it was confused with barium and was not recognized as a distinct element. Over the years, manganese has been increasingly studied due to its significant role in industrial applications and human nutrition. Its ability to improve the properties of steel and its presence in various biological processes have made it a crucial element in both metallurgy and biochemistry.
