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.
