HOW ETHEREUM GOT ITS NAME

One fine day, Vitalik Buterin, the Co-Founder of Ethereum was browsing through a list of elements from science fiction on Wikipedia. He came across the word Ethereum and he liked it more in comparison with all the other words as this word consisted of another deep word, Ether. Ether refers to the hypothetical invisible medium which permeates the universe and permits the light to travel. This is how Buterin came to a decision of naming his network Ethereum.
Vitalik Buterin is a known Russian-Canadian writer and programmer who is primarily recognized for being the co-founder of Ethereum. He also happens to be the co-founder of a magazine called The Bitcoin Magazine

Vitalik first described Ethereum on a white paper in the late 2013s. He founded Ethereum as he felt that Bitcoin needed a scripting language for the specific application development. But, he failed to gain the agreement. After this, he proposed the development of an entirely new platform that consisted of a more general scripting language.
