Ytterby, a small town in Sweeden.
The origin name for yttrium is ytterby.
It's named after the small village of Ytterby in Sweden. As are yttrium, ytterbium, and terbium. And kind of holmium (after Stockholm, and Ytterby is in the Stockholm archipelago) and thulium (not Ytterby specifically, but after "Thule", the Greek name for a region ... we're not sure exactly where and apparently neither were the Greeks, but somewhere way up north, which Ytterby fits pretty nicely, if you're feeling a little poetic). All of these elements were first isolated in ores taken from a mine near Ytterby, which is how a tiny village came to have at least four and possibly as many as six elements named after it. Gadolinium was also first discovered in ore from the same mine, but it's named after Johan Gadolin.
The elements named for the city of Ytterby, Sweden, are Yttrium (39), Terbium (65), Erbium (68), and Ytterbium (70). These elements were discovered in the late 18th and early 19th centuries from a mineral found near Ytterby. The city is notable for its historical significance in the field of rare earth elements.
