Etymology

The word 'titanium' is derived from the Titans of Greek mythology, who were powerful deities. The element itself was discovered in 1791 by English chemist William Gregor, who identified it in the mineral ilmenite. Gregor named the element 'menachanite' initially, but it was later renamed to titanium in 1795 by the German chemist Martin Heinrich Klaproth, who recognized its significance and named it after the powerful Titans to reflect its strength and resilience. Since its discovery, titanium has gained importance in various industries due to its unique properties, which include a high melting point, low density, and excellent corrosion resistance. Today, titanium is crucial in advanced technology applications, including aerospace engineering and medical implants.
