Neon's name comes from the Greek 'neos', meaning new. Which gives me nothing, there's no symbol for "new".

The first thing everyone thinks of when hearing about neon though are neon lights. So I went in that direction and picked the alternative symbol for phosphorus, as phosphorus was often used to symbolize light in alchemy too.
