The Latin name for Copenhagen, used in scientific nomenclature, particularly in the naming of the element hafnium.
From Medieval Latin Hafnia, the Latinized form of Copenhagen (København in Danish), used by scientists to create universal names for discoveries.
Scientists named element 72 'hafnium' after Copenhagen because that's where it was discovered in 1923—it's like leaving a geographic fingerprint in the periodic table!
