Etymology

The word Bh is the chemical symbol for bohrium, an element named after the Danish scientist Niels Bohr, and it uses the letters B and h because 'B' alone was already the symbol for boron. So Bh is a simple reminder that this is the man-made, very unstable element named for Bohr, who is famous for his ideas about 'atoms'.
