Hans Christian Oersted from Denmark was successful in 1825; however he apparently produced an aluminium alloy with the elements used in the experiments, rather than pure aluminium.
Aluminum was named after alum, which is called alumen in Latin. This name was given by Humphry Davy, an English chemist, who in 1808 discovered that Aluminum could be produced by electrolytic reduction from alumina (Aluminum Oxide), but did not manage to prove the theory in practice.
Aluminum was discovered in Denmark. Aluminum is the most abundant metal in the earths crust, it is never found free in nature. All of the earths aluminum has combined with other elements to form compounds.
