Where this word comes from
Internationalism, based on English Umbriel, the name of a gloomy gnome created by Alexander Pope for his poem The Rape of the Lock (1712). Pope formed the name from Latin umbra (“shadow, shade”). The moon was discovered together with Ariel by William Lassell on 24 October 1851. The names of the four then-known moons of Uranus were suggested by John Herschel in 1852 at Lassell's request. Umbriel was chosen after Pope's “dusky, melancholy sprite”. Compare the parallel adaptations Danish Umbriel, Swedish Umbriel, German Umbriel, Dutch Umbriel, French Umbriel, Polish Umbriel and English Umbriel.
