There are valid reasons for both aluminum and aluminium. It had to do with naming conventions for elements and stuff, and it went back and forth.
In some cases, the same people early on called it both words. One of them was the person credited with naming it, BRITISH chemist Humphry Davy, who came up with both versions -- so if Brits want to blame anyone for the multiple versions, they have only themselves.
Check the wikipedia article for a lot more details, under the "Etymology" section.
Maybe we should all drop some letters and switch to the original name he suggested, "alumium".
