Protactinium was first identified in 1913 by German chemist Otto Hahn and his colleagues, who isolated it from uranium ores in Germany. The name "protactinium" is derived from the Greek word "protos," meaning "first," and "actinium," reflecting its position in the decay series of uranium. The element was later confirmed to be present in other sources, but its initial discovery was in Germany.
