Etymology
Palladium for the metal was named after the asteroid Pallas, which itself was named for the Greek goddess Pallas Athena. In old stories a 'palladium' was a statue of the goddess that gave the city 'protection', so the metal's name carries that idea of a rare, valuable thing — that's why the element was called palladium.
