Barium is a relatively rare element. It was isolated for the first time by Sir Humphry Davy. Its existence was suspected before by Carl Wilhelm Scheele, as a heavier compound in certain minerals. Scheele therefore called this heavier component according to the Greek word for 'heavy': barys, from which 'barium' is derived.
