What element is named after a biblical figure?

Ruth
Ru
Ruthenium

Nope...

Ruthenium is from the word Ruthenia, which is the latinized form of the word Russia.

In the past it has been applied to territories inhabitted by East Slavic speakers, but over time it has come to apply to a certain area also known as Carpathian Ukraine.

Methos, you're just ruthless.

Could it be Samarium? That is my best guess, but I found it be to be named after a Russian scientist.

Nope, not samarium either ...

The word samarium comes from the samarskite (a mineral), which , as you said, comes from a Russian engineer's name (V. E. Samarskii-Bykhhovets).

Nickle...

Yup - nickel was originally called "Old Nick's copper" (kupfernickel, in German).

and "old Nick" is slang for the DEVIL!

just in case people are still scratching their heads trying to figure out what biblical figure was named Nick!
