The name of the chemical element phosphorus is derived from the Greek word fosforos, a light carrier.
Phosphorus got its name because it glows in the dark. "Phosphorus" is from the Greek words phôs(light) and phoros(bearer), meaning "bringer of light," and the ancient name for the planet Venus when it appears before sunrise. Its symbol is P, from phosphorus.
