During the late Middle Ages and Renaissance, miners digging for copper in the German region of Sachsen encountered ore that smelted into both that metal and a much harder silvery metal. Its hardness gave them so much difficulty that the miners thought it had been placed there by the devil.
The new metal was soon called Kupfernickel, or "Old Nick's copper", using a slang name for the devil. When the Swedish mineralogist and chemist Baron Axel Fredrik Cronstedt finally isolated the substance in 1751 he simply eliminated "Kupfer" from Kupfernickel in the same way he had eliminated copper from the ore, giving the metal its modern name.

What do the substances names nickel and colbalt mean?
Oddly enough, both substances take their names from 18th century German words meaning "demon", or "goblin".In the case of nickel, it was derived from the word Kupfernickel ("copper demon"), which was a name miners gave to a copper-colored ore of nickel, supposedly because, although copper-colored, the ore didn't actually yield any copper."Cobalt" comes from Kobold ("household goblin"), again, a name miners gave to an ore (of silver, cobalt, arsenic, and sulfur, allegedly because out-gassing of arsenic and sulfur from the ore made the miners sick.

Where did nickel's name come from?
It's thought that the name originated during the late Middle Ages when German miners encountered nickel metal mixed in with the copper they were seeking.Copper is a relatively soft metal but nickel is much harder and more difficult to smelt. Its presence complicated the miners' work so much so that they started referring to it as Kupfernickel, a word which loosely translates as "the devil's copper". Eventually the "Kupfer" ("copper") part of the name was dropped, giving the name we use today.
