Alchemists study and practice Alchemy which is considered a protoscience. While Alchemists are real people with a real purpose, the field they practice has not been proven real, as yet, by scientific protocol.
Using a loose definition, you could call chemists modern alchemists. But there were real alchemists who's main goal was to change one substance into another, usually this a cheap metal, like lead, into gold. Though the methods were primitive, the concepts are considered important work towards modern chemistry.

During the Middle Ages, alchemy was studied in earnest by highly regarded thinkers, such as Albertus Magnus, Roger Bacon and St. Thomas Aquinas (Jung, 1963: xvi). To this we can add Paracelsus and some others. For a complete list, see www.levity.com
no, not to a real person. but to a sheep its a real name.
Yes it is real.
Real Gone was created on 2004-10-03.
Transmutation circles were not used by real-life alchemists. They are a fictional concept popularized in manga/anime such as "Fullmetal Alchemist." Real alchemists focused on practical experiments and symbolic language to convey their ideas, rather than using intricate diagrams.
Cerium was not known by alchemists.
Some of them were atheists, though some like Marcoh and Ed weren't sure if God was real or not.
The alchemists were unaware that atoms even existed.
Most of the strongest Alchemists appear to be men.
Sadly, no. As much as we may wish for Alices, midget alchemists, or magical shops owned by alcoholic witches to exist, they are not real. But that's what fanfiction is for.
Alchemists. Alchemists.

Alchemists tried to make GOLD from base metals. Scientists know that theoretically Gold can only be made by altering the number of protons in an atom. Alchemists did NOT know about protons etc., .
I don't think "alchemists" is the word you meant to use, because your question does not make sense. Alchemists are people who try to magically turn lead into gold, or otherwise magically turn one substance into another.
