1816 P. Cleaveland Elem. Treat. Mineral. & Geol. 316 This mineral has recently been made known by M. Lelièvre, who has named it Yenite in commemoration of the battle of Jena, changing the initial letter for a particular reason.
1868 J. D. Dana Syst. Mineral. (ed. 5) 297 Named Ilvaite from the Latin name of the island (Elba) on which it was found; Lievrite after its discoverer [Lelièvre]; Yenite (should have been Jenite) in commemoration of the battle of Jena, in 1806. The Germans, and later the French, have rightly rejected the name yenite, on the ground that commemorations of political hostility or triumph are opposed to the spirit of science.
