As new elements are "discovered" or created artificially, the discoverer/creator gets to name them (within limits). So recent artificially-created elements have been named things like berkelium (named for the University of California at Berkeley, where it was synthesized) or mendelevium, named after Dmitri Mendeleev, father of the Periodic Table.
According to www.webelements.com, we're up to element 111, roentgenium, which was discovered on 8th December 1994 at the GSI in Darmstadt, Germany.
The Periodic Table is useful, but not necessary. It is useful in organizing the chemical elements according to their basic properties (and structure, as it turns out). This helps the chemist understand and anticipate the way the elements interact.
Because it's important: it shows us all the elements (atoms that cannot be broken down any further by chemical methods.
