Yes.
Lawrencium was named after Ernest Lawrence. Curium was named after Marie Curie. Einsteinium was named after Albert Einstein. Mendelevium was named after Dmitri Mendeleev.
most of them were artificial
elements
Just glancing at the Periodic Table I can see 12 elements named after actual people, and a few named after gods from mythology, but we won't count them. They are curium (after the madame), einsteinium (after Albert), fermium (Enrico Fermi), mendelevium (Dmitri Mendeleev, who organized the periodic table the way it is), nobelium (Alfred Nobel, the man behind the prize), lawrencium (for physicist Ernest O. Lawrence, whose name is also given to the Lawrence-Berkeley lab in California), rutherfordium (Ernest Rutherford), seaborgium (Glenn Seaborg, who discovered a bunch of the transuranic elements), bohrium (after Niels), meitnerium (for Lise Meitner, a Manhattan Project contributor), roentgenium (for Wilhelm Roentgen, discoverer of x-rays), and copernicium (for Nick Copernicus).
A bunch more are named after places, like cities or countries where they were discovered or where their discoverers were from.
seven have been named after scientist the most well known is einsteinium
12.
Bohrium, Copernicium, Curium, Einsteinium, Fermium, Lawrencium, Meitnerium, Mendelevium, Nobelium, Roentgenium, Rutherfordium, and Seaborgium.
four elements.
i suck john. do me hard
Some of them and some of someone else like the teddy bear named after Theodore Roosevelt.Some are even named after countries, like Francium.

The actinides are a series of 15 radioactive elements, the group gets its name from the element Actinium. The elements are Actinium, Thorium, Protactinium, Uranium, Neptunium, Plutonium, Americium, Curium, Berkelium, Californium, Einsteinium, Fermium, Mendelevium, Nobelium and Lawrencium. Six of the elements of this group got their names from renowned scientists, Curium was named after Marie and Pierre Curie; the Einsteinium was named after Albert Einstein; Fermium was named after Enrico Fermi; the Mendelevium was named after Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev; the Nobelium after Alfred Nobel and Lawrencium is named after Ernest Lawrence.
there are many for example: Bohrium : after Niels Bohr Copernicum : After Copernicus Rutherfordium : After Rutherford Many Einsteinium is named after Einstein. Curium after the Curies, Ruthefordium after Rutherford and of course Seaborgium whcih was named after a LIVING famous scientist Glen Seaborg

Surprisingly, most are.
There are five different elements that are named by scientists. The five elements are Bohrium, Curium, Einsteinium, Fermium and Lawrencium.

named for the university where many of the transuranium elements were synthesized?
Rutherfordium, Bohrium and Einsteinium are just 3 of a few elements that are named in honour of scientists. You cannot get more science-y than key scientists
a lot probaly over 1000 elements
many of the first discovered elements were named by greek and roman philosophers
