Etymologies
from The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 4th Edition
[German Wolfram , wolframite, tungsten, from earlier, a mineral (possibly wolframite) with a sooty appearance that when present in tin ore made the extraction of tin more difficult : Wolf , wolf (because the mineral seemed to eat up tin as a wolf eats a sheep) (from Middle High German, from Old High German; see wl̥kw o- in Indo-European roots) + -ram (from Middle High German rām , soot).]
from Wiktionary, Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License
From German Wolfram , of disputed origin; possibly Wolf ("wolf") + Ram ("dirt, soot"); or Wolf ("wolf") + Rahm ("cream"), calque of Latin lupī spūma “wolf’s foam”; or from a surname.

100% mineral, despite the name - there is nothing lupine or ovine about it.

I made a very bad joke today, about the makers of Mathematica suing the periodic table, resulting in tungsten. When nobody laughed I said "too obscure?", and they replied, "too unfunny".
