    The risk of giving greek names to things is that later the meaning might turn out to be not so appropriate: proton means "fundamental thing" in greekpic.twitter.com/COzvftmWWu

        didn't atom also mean a similar thing? and wasn't that a Greek word too?

        No, it literally just means “first”.

        The problem is not the Greek names. Is the knowledge that's changing.

        More precisely, proton is the Greek word for "first". I would say that giving Greek names to things has a historical meaning.The search for the fundamental constituents of matter was begun, really, by Greek philosophers who lived some centuries BC.

        Moreover we must consider that, in the early thirties of the XX century, all the known matter could be described by means of only three particles, conceived as fundamental and indivisible "little spheres": proton, neutron and electron.

        I'm not considering the photon, with its wave–particle duality, because it's a complicated matter.

        true, this is the reason why the latest particles have been named after more exotic references, I hope the time of associating letters to excited states is over and we return to a more inspiring sci-fi ground
