Best Answer

Mercury from both the planet and the Roman god; Uranium is named after the planet Uranus and Plutonium after the (former) planet Pluto; Neptunium, after the planet Neptune. Tellurium, element 52, gets its name from the Latin "tellus" meaning Earth. Not planets, but element 2, Helium is named from the Greek helios, Sun, and Selenium from the Greek selene, Moon.
