There is no full form. They were discovered by accident by a scientist named Wilhelm Röntgen in 1895 while using Cathode ray tubes. As he nor anyone else knew what they were or what they were made of at the time, they were called X-rays. In science and math, X refers to an unknown.


They were also called "Röntgen rays" for a while.
