As far as I know, uranium was first isolated by Martin Heinrich Klaproth in 1789 from the mineral pitchblende. Because the planet $Uranus$ $"Uranus"$ had recently been discovered, he named the metal $uranium .$ $"uranium".$ Klaproth, apparently also isolated cerium, $Z = 58$ $Z=58$ , and zirconium, $Z = 40$ $Z=40$ ; he must have been a very accomplished chemist - especially in the days before atomic number and mass had been properly elucidated.
