The new name for element 113, a highly radioactive element with an extremely short half-life, comes from Japan's name in Japanese - 'nihon', literally 'the land of the rising sun'.

Some element symbols are simple. For example, oxygen is O.Others aren’t as straightforward. For example, the element symbol for iron is Fe, from the latin word ferrum for iron.

That element – which until recently was referred to to as 113 – got its proper name from the word for Japan in Japanese – 'nihon', literally 'the land of the rising sun'.

The symbol for the element we call "tungsten" in English is W because the Germans call the element "wolfram." It was a compromise between different countries' claims.
