Magnet comes from the Greek expression, Magnes lithos "the Magnesian stone," from Magnesia, a region in Thessaly, in Greece, where magnetized ore was obtained.
In ancient Greece, a shepherd boy by the name of Magnes, was looking after his sheep on a mountain. He happened to place his staff on a large stone and found that the staff clung strongly to the stone. From Magnes' name, we get the name "magnet" because of the magnetic stone sticking on to his staff.
