Haematite is another name for iron ore. The prefix 'Haem' comes from Classical Greek for iron. Compare with the Latin for iron , which is 'Ferrum' (Fe).

Haematite is an oxide of ioron. So by smelting, iron ore was reduced to iron.

So the metal in haematite is IRON.

Compare with the biological name 'haemaglobin', part of the blood in humans.

The 'haem' moiety indicates the 'iron' ion.

Or the word ' **Haematuri**a', This is a medical term , for blood in the urine stream.
