Etymology
Thiamine comes from two chemical parts: thia- meaning 'sulfur' and -amine meaning 'a chemical with nitrogen'. So the name describes the vitamin's chemical parts and that is why thiamine is the common name for vitamin B1, the water-soluble vitamin that helps nerves work and keeps energy levels up.
