The story

1. Ancient Greek · derived fromλίθος“stone”
2. English todaykozulite

Named after Japanese mineralogist at Tohoku University Shukusuke Kozu (1880–1955), but discredited as a name in 2012, where it was renamed mangano-ferri-eckermannite for nomenclature systematicity. The suffix -lite is from Ancient Greek λίθος (líthos, “stone”) for it being a mineral.
