mid 18th century: shortening of German Kupfernickel, the copper-colored ore from which nickel was first obtained, from Kupfer 'copper' + Nickel 'demon' (with reference to the ore's failure to yield copper).
The name comes from the German word Kupfernickel, meaning "devil's copper". It's generally thought that the name was given by the metal's discoverer, Baron Axel Frederik Cronstedt. Miners had hoped to find softer copper, but instead found a metal that was much harder and more difficult to work with.
Nickel is short for the German word 'Kupfernickel,' which means Devil's copper or St. Nicholas's copper.
