A french man named Claude Geoffroy of 1753 in France
Bismuth has been known since prehistoric times, though it was often confused with tin and/or lead since it has somewhat similar properties. Georgius Agricola, writing in the 16th century, recognized that it was neither tin nor lead but a distinct metal within the same "family" and gave it the Latinate name bisemutum.
