The Greek word xenos, which means stranger or guest. Xenon was discovered as an unexpected residue in the fractional distillation of liquid air.
Because Sir William Ramsay named it after the Greek word xenon, meaning foreigner, stranger or guest.
Xenon was discovered in 1898 and named Xenon. There is no Latin name.
Xenon is a noble/inert gas. The fact that it is named 'inert' means it does not form compounds with other atoms. However, under very complex electron lab. conditions it can be forced to combine with halogens.

Xenon is a anion

The Correct Chemical Name is: xenon tetrafluoride
No. The element Xenon has nothing whatsoever to do with California. However, Intel, the California based company produced a microprocessor which they named Xenon.
