Helium

The element helium was named so because there was a whole lot of it found on the Sun, which was once represented as the Greek god Helios.

The Sun, along with all the other stars, turn hydrogen to helium in their cores. Bigger stars burn out faster than smaller ones because they use up more energy when they turn the hydrogen to helium (because they're bigger, obviously).
