Sequanium
Sequanium was the proposed name for a new element found by the Romanian physicist Horia Hulubei in 1939.[1][2] The name derived from the Latin word Sequana for the river Seine running through Paris where Hulubei worked at that time.
Hulubei thought he had discovered element 93 in a tantalite sample from the French region Haute-Vienne. The element 93 was synthesised in 1940 and named neptunium.[3]
