Boron was not named after an individual. The mineral borax was know to ancient peoples, though they could not know its chemistry. Borax was called buraq in Arabic. From Middle-Persian, we get būrak, which is the root for burah in Persian. The name boron comes from these words for borax, and boron is one of the elements that makes up this mineral.
