Origin and Evolution of Fibonacci series

First Known Use: 1877 year

Language of Origin: Latin

Story behind the word: The term 'Fibonacci series' originates from the name of an Italian mathematician, Leonardo of Pisa, also known as Fibonacci.

Evolution of the word: The Fibonacci series was first introduced in Fibonacci's book 'Liber Abaci' in 1202, but the actual term 'Fibonacci series' was not used until much later in 1877 by the French mathematician, Edouard Lucas. Since then, the term has been widely used to refer to the sequence of numbers where each number is the sum of the two preceding ones.
