Einsteinium and mendelevium, Thorium, Curium, Fermium, Rutherfordium, Bohrium, Seaborgium, etc., etc.
It's named after scientist Alfred Nobel.
Alfred Nobel, the inventor of dynamite and founder of the Nobel Prizes, did not have any elements named after him.
-Fermium : it was named after nuclear physicist Enrico Fermi -Einsteinium: it was named after Albert Einstein -Mendelevium: it was named after Dimitri Mendeleev :-) :p <3

There are numerous elements named after scientists, including curium (named after Marie and Pierre Curie), einsteinium (named after Albert Einstein), fermium (named after Enrico Fermi), and seaborgium (named after Glenn T. Seaborg).
Bill Nye does not have an element named after him. The other three scientists (Albert Einstein, Lise Meitner, Enrico Fermi) have elements named after them (Einsteinium, Meitnerium, Fermium).
Three elements named after places are Copper, Berkelium, and Californium
Curium. Marie Curie, discoverer of radioactivity.
It is named after Dmitri Mendeleev, the scientist who was responsible for devising the periodic table of elements.
