I have heard a number of people refer to the Protheans as Prometheans. Is there some TV show or comic book, or sci-fi/fantasy novel that is very popular, but with which I am unfamiliar that stars Prometheans?

Are you not familiar with Prometheus?

Also they're from Halo.
Prometheus was also the name of the disappointing Aliens prequel.
They both come from the same general human mythological basis.
But yeah, pretty much nothing else.
Like Swobyj said, I think the words are both derived from the same root word. There are plenty of stories that use some derivation of Prometheus to denote some sort of lost, ancient race that some how was involved with mankind.
this is what i think of when i hear the word 'prometheus.'
