The old name for the element carbon is "charcoal," derived from its black, carbon-rich form used in ancient times. In Latin, it was referred to as "carbo," which means coal or charcoal. Historically, carbon was recognized in different forms, but it was not until the 18th century that it was identified as a distinct chemical element.
