Based on the current periodic table, an element with an atomic number greater than uranium (atomic number 92) but less than plutonium (atomic number 94) does not exist. Elements with atomic numbers from 93 to 118 are yet to be discovered or synthesized. They are known as transuranium elements or superheavy elements.

If a new element were to be discovered or synthesized in the future with an atomic number between uranium and plutonium, its name would depend on the organization responsible for its discovery. Typically, when a new element is synthesized or discovered, the discoverers propose a name to the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) for approval.

The naming process typically involves considering various factors such as scientific significance, honoring scientists, geographical locations, or mythological references. Therefore, without specific knowledge of a new element's discovery, it is not possible to provide a definitive name for an element with an atomic number between uranium and plutonium.
