The symbol 'Cf' for californium comes from the element's name, which is derived from the University of California, where it was discovered. The 'C' stands for 'california' and the 'f' is the first letter of 'fermium,' the element that californium follows in the periodic table.

Californium was obtained by Stanley G. Thompson, Kenneth Street, Albert Ghiorso and Glenn Seaborg in 1950 at Berkeley Laboratories. The nuclear reaction is: Curium 242 + Helium 4-------Californium 245 + neutron
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.
Californium-252 was discovered by a team of scientists led by Albert Ghiorso at the University of California, Berkeley in 1950. They synthesized Californium-252 by bombarding curium-242 with alpha particles.
Californium was first produced by Stanley G. Thompson, Glenn T. Seaborg, Kenneth Street, Jr. and Albert Ghiorso working at the University of California, Berkeley, in 1950.
