A former name or poetic reference to the element rhenium, based on its discovery location in Bohemia.
From Bohemia (the historical region where rhenium was discovered in 1925) plus the Latin suffix -ium used in chemical element names.
Scientists originally wanted to honor Bohemia's discovery of this rare element by calling it bohemium, but the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry officially chose 'rhenium' instead—one of chemistry's rejected baby names.
