== Etymology == Autunite was named after the town of Autun, France, where the mineral was initially found. The mineral was named by Henry J. Brooke and William H. Miller in 1854.<ref name=":0" /> The archaic name "calco-uranite" pairs with the similarly composed mineral, [[torbernite]], which was named "cupro-uranite". Both minerals are named due to their uranium content, with autunite's name referring to its calcium (''calco''), and torbernite's copper (''cupro'') quantity.<ref name=":1" />
