Unless it's proven to have been inspired by Runescape, you can safely assume that each name was derived from the properties that usually accompany the original materials, and their origins.

Excerpt from Adamant: Adamant and similar words are used to refer to any especially hard substance, whether composed of diamond, some other gemstone, or some type of metal.

Excerpt from Mithril: ''Mithril is a metal in J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth fantasy writings. It is described as silvery and stronger than steel but much lighter in weight.

The name mithril or similarly spelled variations (mithral, mythril, and others) is present in other fictional contexts like role-playing games such as Dungeons & Dragons (where it is spelled mithral in the 3rd and later editions of the game), Runescape, and the Final Fantasy series, and in books, since the Tolkien Estate did not trademark the term.''
