The following information was found in the back of the Feb. 2005 issue of Scientific American.

As yet undiscovered elements with atomic #s higher than 110 receive so-called place holder names, which are simply latin-ized versions of their atomic numbers. Thus, element 111 was formerly designated Unununium, literally "one one one" (Uuu), and element 112 has been given the temporary name of Ununbium (Uub).
