The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) is the international body of chemists responsible for naming new elements. They have decided the names for the six new elements added to the periodic table in recent years.
IUPAC
The names of recently discovered elements are usually proposed by the team discovering it but the names must be approved by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC).
The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) is the international body of chemists responsible for naming new elements. In 2016, IUPAC officially approved the names of six new elements: nihonium (Nh), moscovium (Mc), livermorium (Lv), tennessine (Ts), oganesson (Og), and copernicium (Cn). These names were chosen to honor various scientists and geographical locations significant to the field of chemistry.
By an organization named the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry.

english-names of elements.
Elements got their names from their latin names,greek gods,or from the names of the persons who discovered them.
The names for elements 104-108, seaborgium (Sg), bohrium (Bh), hassium (Hs), meitnerium (Mt) and darmstadtium (Ds), were proposed by the discoverers of these elements and were approved by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC). The names were chosen to honor renowned scientists or places associated with the study of nuclear science.
Scientists use symbols to represent elements and compounds. The symbols of a chemical element are abbreviations that are used to denote a chemical element. Typically, they are one or two-letters long with the first letter (only) capitalised; temporary names are three-letters long. !
oxygen hydroxide - - - - - Are you doing organic or inorganic chemistry? This group has two names. Inorganic chemists call this a Hydroxide group. Organic chemists call it an Alcohol group.
The names and the symbols of the chemical elements are approved by IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry) following a set of rules.
