===Naming===
Using [[Mendeleev's predicted elements|Mendeleev's nomenclature for unnamed and undiscovered elements]], moscovium is sometimes known as ''eka-[[bismuth]]''. In 1979, IUPAC recommended that the [[placeholder name|placeholder]] [[systematic element name]] ''ununpentium'' (with the corresponding symbol of ''Uup'')<ref name="iupac">{{cite journal |author=Chatt, J. |journal=Pure Appl.

Although widely used in the chemical community on all levels, from chemistry classrooms to advanced textbooks, the recommendations were mostly ignored among scientists in the field, who called it "element 115", with the symbol of ''E115'', ''(115)'' or even simply ''115''.<ref name="Haire" />

On 30 December 2015, discovery of the element was recognized by the [[International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry]] (IUPAC).<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.iupac.org/news/news-detail/article/discovery-and-assignment-of-elements-with-atomic-numbers-113-115-117-and-118.html |title=IUPAC - International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry: Discovery and Assignment of Elements with Atomic Numbers 113, 115, 117 and 118 |date=2015-12-30 |access-date=2015-12-31 |archive-date=2015-12-31 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151231074712/http://www.iupac.org/news/news-detail/article/discovery-and-assignment-of-elements-with-atomic-numbers-113-115-117-and-118.html}}</ref> According to IUPAC recommendations, the discoverer(s) of a new element has the right to suggest a name.<ref>
