William Gregor was an English pastor who studied Cornish minerals as a hobby. He found some Ilmenite in a Cornish mine and broke it down and noticed one element that he could not identify. Later that same year a German chemist also discovered this element and named it titanium because the mineral had the "strength of the titans." When he learned of Gregor's results, Martin Heinrich Klaproth gave William Gregor the credit for the discovery.
