from
Wikipedia
He separated neodymium, as well as the element praseodymium, from a material known as didymium by means of fractional crystallization of the double ammonium nitrate tetrahydrates from nitric acid, while following the separation by spectroscopic analysis ; however, it was not isolated in relatively pure form until 1925.
The name neodymium is derived from the Greek words neos ( νέος ), new, and didymos ( διδύμος ), twin.
