Origin
The term "kymatology" was first coined by the German philosopher and natural scientist Alexander von Humboldt in his 1814 treatise "Ideen zu einer Physiognomik der Gewächse". Humboldt used the term to describe his observations of the patterns and behaviors of ocean waves.
Over time, kymatology became more widely recognized as a subfield within oceanography. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, scientists such as George Stokes and Lord Kelvin made significant contributions to the field, developing important mathematical models and theories that are still used today.
