(the word tin is shared among germanic languages and can be traced back to reconstructed Proto-Germanic *tin-om; cognates include German Zinn, Swedish tenn and Dutch tin)
(it is not found in other branches of Indo-European, except by borrowing from Germanic (e.g. Irish tinne from English))
(the latin name stannum originally meant an alloy of silver and lead, and came to mean ‘tin’ in the 4th century BCE – the earlier Latin word for it was plumbum candidum, or “white lead”)
(“Stannum” apparently came from an earlier stāgnum (meaning the same substance), the origin of the Romance and Celtic terms for ‘tin’)
(the origin of stannum/stāgnum is unknown; it may be pre-Indo-European)
(the Meyers Konversations lexikon speculates on the contrary that stannum is derived from (the ancestor of) Cornish stean, and is proof that ‘cornwall’ in the ‘first centuries AD’ was the main source of ‘tin’)
