Germanium was discovered comparatively late because very few minerals contain it in high concentration. Germanium ranks near fiftieth [[Abundance of elements in Earth's crust|in relative abundance of the elements in the Earth's crust]]. In 1869, [[Dmitri Mendeleev]] [[Mendeleev's predicted elements|predicted]] its existence and some of its properties based on its position on his [[periodic table]] and called the element '''[[Mendeleev's predicted elements#Ekasilicon and germanium|eka-silicon]]'''. Nearly two decades later, in 1886, [[Clemens Winkler]] found that experimental observations agreed with Mendeleev's predictions and named the element after his country, [[German Empire|Germany]].
