The first rare earth element, yttrium, was isolated in 1794 by the Swedish chemist Johan Gadolin.
It originates from the the Latin word "Gallia" which refers to France.
Gadolin (1760-1852) did not discover gadolinium, the element named for him. He was the first to isolate the rare earth element yttrium (actually its oxide) in 1792.The element is named for the town of Ytterby near Stockholm. Gadolin received a heavy block of mineral from a quarry there and extracted the yttrium oxide from it. The oxide is also called gadolinite in his honor.In 1878, Jean de Marignac isolated ytterbium and in 1880 he discovered gadolinium (isolated in 1886 by Paul de Boisbaudran), which he named for Gadolin.
Jakob Gadolin died in 1802.
