Huh, no wiki page for places named after chemical elements though. Surely there must be some? Like, the element equivalent of Magnetogorsk.

Still don't believe this is real, Darmstadt is a small city next to here literally translated to city of intestine I'm sorry but no

Yes, but also no. It looks like intestine city now, but none of the theories about the origin of the name (the oldest attested version being ‘Darmundestat’) have anything to do with intestine.

Mostly true albeit we still have no real clue why it's called that and bone of the theories dominate and most of them are just "we don't know so maybe its that" What is true though it's what's it's called today and what that means And they named an element after that

Shoutout to that small Swedish valley of Ytterby, which accounts for four names all on its own! (And it could have been so many more you have no idea) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ytterby

And meanwhile, Argentina is the only sovereign state that's named after a chemical element.
