The elements berkelium and californium are named after the University of California. Note that the latter element is named for the state of California as well as the University itself.
The name berkelium id derived from Berkeley Laboratory, University of California.

That element is Berkelium, symbol "Bk" and atomic number 97, a radioactive element in the heavy "actonoid" series. Berkelium is named after the Californian university town of Berkeley where it was first synthesized. Scientists at the University of California's Ernest Orlando Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (simply known as "Berkeley Lab") first synthesized Berkelium in 1949. They created it by bombarding a small piece of Americium ("Am" atomic number 95) with alpha particles within a cyclotron.
I'd look at some of the radioactive heavy elements. For example Berkelium, Californium, and Americium.
I believe there is only one element named after a state, and that is Californium. However, there is in fact an element named Berkelium (check spelling?) that originates from Berkely, Calfornia.
The Element named Berkelium has a chemical symbol of Bk; and atomic number of 97 and an atomic weight of 247. It has a melting point of 104º and density of 15.1g/cc. Its boiling point is not known as yet. Berkelium is named after Univ of California where it was first make (or discovered. )
Well, there's Berkelium, which was named after the city of Berkeley, CA (indirectly... it was actually named after the University of California at Berkeley, which was itself named after the city). That's about as close as it gets.
