Curium after Marie Curie
Einsteinium after Albert Einstein
There are two elements that are known to be named after ancient lands. These two elements are ruthenium (after the ancient name, Ruthenia, an Eastern European cross-section) and gallium (after Gaul, the ancient name for France).
Marie Skłodowska Curie and her husband Pierre discovered the elements polonium and radium in 1898, and named polonium for her native country Poland.
Americium and Europium are the elements named for large regions which include several countries.
The two elements named after continents are europium (named after Europe) and americium (named after America).
There are no elements named after places since an element is atoms which are all the same not a mixture of two types of atoms nor a compound which is more than three.
They are named by the first two letters of their Latin name.
