What are 5 elements named after countries?

Answer 1

Henry Antrim

I can think of about 8, named after countries, continents, or US states.

Germanium, Thulium, Franconium, Californianium, Europepium, Gallium, and Polonium.

So there's your 5: #Ge#, #Ga#, #Fr#, #Po#, #Tm#. Hey, why did the French get 2?
