The word "hydrogen" came from the French "hydrogène", which itself came from the Greek "hyrdos" ("water") and "-genes" ("born of, produced by"), meaning "producing water" because it creates water when exposed to oxygen.

The word "hydrogen" comes from the Greek words "hudōr" which means water, and "-genΔ“s" which means producer. This reflects the fact that hydrogen was first recognized as a component of water.
