∙ 13y agoElements are not invented. They are either discovered or synthesized and since elements (with one exception) are not named after living people, the discoverer does not get to name it after himself or herself (which would be deemed rather arrogant in any event). Elements have been named after people who discovered other elements, but not the element that was given their name. For instance curium, named after Marie Curie, who discovered radium and polonium, but not curium, or Seaborgium (after Glenn Seaborg, who discovered many transuranium elements, but not the one given his name while he was still alive). So no element has been named after its discoverer or synthesizer.
