One day, Jason Huggins made a joke in a mail on competitor company name – Mercury Interactive.

Mercury Interactive was later acquired by HP company and their product got renamed to QTP followed by UFT.

Here is the joke in the mail – “Mercury poisoning can be cured by taking Selenium Supplement“.

The others who received this email, decided to name it as Selenium.

This is how Selenium got its name 🙂
