This greenish or blueish patina, formed on copper and other surfaces when they are exposed to the atmosphere for long periods, takes its name from Old French vert de grece, “green of Greece.” The reason for the name is not known, nor is the reason why people later called the patina the “Spanish green.” The word verdigris can be traced to the 14th century in Europe.
