History & Etymology
The story of discovery and naming of the rare earth element Erbium began with Carl Gustav Mosander splitting old yttria into three new elements, yttria proper, erbia, and terbia. These three names are without much fantasy derived from Ytterby, where the original yttria was found (see the special Rare Earths page). In 1860 the Swedish chemist Nils Johan Berlin (1812-1891) denied the existence of Mosander’s yellow-oxide erbia, and gave this name to his rose-colored oxide terbia. Delafontaine (1864, 1878) followed him in naming the earth with rose-colored oxide erbia, but proved also that the yellow-oxide earth existed, and gave this now the name terbia, thus:
In the 1870s the analysis of samarskite introduced a new phase in the discovery of the rare earth elements (cf. Samarium). In 1878, Jean Charles Galissard de Marignac, professor of Chemistry at the University of Geneva, separated erbia into two new earths, erbia and ytterbia (note). Marignac's erbia was the following year split by Cleve into erbia proper and two new earths, which he named Thulium and Holmium (note). Erbia proper is Erbium oxide, the element was alternatively named Neo-erbium (in Gmelin's Handbuch).
Ytterby
Ytterby, a village in Sweden on the island of Resarö, close to Vaxholm (east of Stockholm) is a deposit of many unusual minerals, containing rare earth and other elements. A Chronological list of discovery of the rare earths and their names and information and illustrations of Ytterby's quarry and a location map is on the Rare Earths page. John and Gordon Marks suggested in 1994 the name Mendelevium (Me), after the Russian chemist Дмитрий Иванович Менделеев (Dmitrij Ivanovič Mendeleyev) (1834-1907). (Element 101 they renamed into Bohemium). The Marks brothers found the old names ugly and confusing. They offered alternative names that are equivalent contemporary (at the time and place of discovery) metaphors, both more euphonious and more memorable (note).

MEYAN
ERBIUM is a dubious metal Not yet isolated in metal state. Erbia, the Oxide, has a fine rose tint. Erbium Salts are more or less bright rose colour'd. Erbia is found with Yttria in general, In Gadolinite a Swedish mineral. Further reading
