Xenon was discovered William Ramsay and Morris Travers in 1898, shortly after their discovery of the elements krypton and neon. They found a gas present in the residue left over from evaporating components of liquid air. Ramsay suggested the name xenonfor this gas from the Greek word xenon meaning 'foreigner', 'stranger' or 'guest'.
