Named after a person or place (etymology uncertain), with '-ite' suffix indicating a mineral. The '-ite' mineral suffix comes from Greek '-ites.'
Minerals are named by geologists who follow strict naming conventions—sometimes after discoverers, sometimes after locations—and the '-ite' ending tells you instantly that it's a mineral, like quartz or feldspar.
