Chemical elements can be named after just about anything: places, people, universities, etc. The elements get their names from the International Union for Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC). For example, Darmstadtium is named after Darmstadt in Germany, and Nobelium is named after Alfred Nobel, founder of the Nobel Prize.
