Isotopes have a name that starts with the name of the element (based on the number of protons) followed by a number that is the combined number of protons and neutrons.

For example, if there are three protons and four neutrons, it would be called Lithium-7.

There are two special kinds of isotopes that have their very own name that sound like elements: deuterium and tritium. These are the same as hydrogen-2 and hydrogen-3.
