Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Lidocaine was first synthesized in 1943 by Swedish chemist Nils Löfgren. The name is derived from 'lido', referring to the local anesthetic properties, and 'caine', a common suffix for local anesthetics, originating from the Latin 'cana', meaning 'dog', as it was first derived from the coca plant.
