Plasma is the fluid that carries blood cells, it’s filled with proteins, some fats, and a lot of ions. Apparently Irvin Langmuir, a physicist, was reminded of that when studying ionized gases, as they’re also a fluid with ions. So while they’re not physically related really, they have some parallelism which earned ionized gas the same name.
