The element copper was named after the Latin word Cyprium, which was named after an island called Cyprus. The Greek goddess Aphrodite or roman goddess Venus in mythology was usually known to be linked with the metal copper. During the times when people believed in the 4 elements (fire, air, water and earth) they used the symbol of copper to be used as the symbol for planet Venus. In the Greek times copper was known as Chalkos. In Roman times copper became known as Cyprium since it was mostly found mined in Cyprus.
