(N/A) To name an element with atomic number $106$,we use the $IUPAC$ nomenclature system for elements with $Z > 100$:
Digit $1, 0, 6$
Root name $Un, Nil, hex$

Combining these roots and adding the suffix "ium":
$Un + nil + hex + ium = Unnilhexium$.
The symbol is derived from the first letters of the roots: $U + n + h = Unh$.
