I did not know that the word “fermion” is coined by Dirac.
In his very famous book, “The Principles of Quantum Mechanics”, he says, in the page 210 (fourth edition), that:
It leads to a special statistics, which was first studied by Fermi, so we shall call particles for which only antisymmetrical states occur in nature fermions.
The electron is a fermion with spin 1/2, and without electrons there is no joy of ham radio, you know.
