What is the latin name for nitrogen?

Answer 1

There is no Latin name for nitrogen. The Romans did not know it existed, and obviously had no name for it. The 'nitrum' suggested by some a name for various alkalis, esp. soda and potash, but probably not nitre.

Nitrogen was a coined word, developed after its recognition as a separate element.

The Neolatin word for nitrogen is:
Nitrogenium

Neolatin takes words that did not exist in classical Roman times and converts them into a best guess at what the word would have been if the Romans had developed it.
