Etymology
Magnesium comes from Magnesia, a place in Greece where people first found minerals that had this metal, and it shares the same root as magnet and magnetic. So, remembering the name comes from that place helps explain why magnesium now means the light, silvery metal used in supplements and known for burning with a bright white flame.
