The fermi is named after the Italian-American physicist Enrico Fermi. It was a popular unit in nuclear physics.
Current Use
The femtometer is the officially recognized SI unit, but the fermi is still used informally in nuclear and particle physics.
Furlong
A furlong is a unit of length in the imperial and US customary systems, equal to one-eighth of a mile, 220 yards, or 660 feet.
History/Origin
The name "furlong" derives from the Old English words "furh" (furrow) and "lang" (long), originally referring to the length of a furrow in one acre of a ploughed open field.
