Elements of the Periodic Table by Meaning

There are 118 named elements in the Periodic Table. How many can you guess? Ex: Let us say Greenium is an element. You would put Green. If any of those words have a deeper meaning, use that.
I used Wikipedia. What else?
If the name comes from something that also has a meaning, use the base meaning.

The instructions could be made much clearer so one understands what one is supposed to do. Also, could you please check Japan and Darmstadt? I'm sure I typed in those correctly, but they weren't accepted.
