Naphtali...petroleum

That has a "ring" of truth to it.

Judah ==> Jew and Levi ==> Levites; so obvious I don't need help remembering those two. After that, it gets a bit dicey who I will remember on any given day.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naphtha

Etymology

White gas, exemplified by Coleman Camp Fuel, is a common naphtha-based fuel used in many lanterns and torches
The word naphtha is from Latin and Ancient Greek (νάφθα), derived from Middle Persian naft (”wet”, “naphtha”),[3][4] the latter meaning of which was an assimilation from the Akkadian napṭu (see Semitic relatives such as Arabic نَفْط nafṭ [”petroleum”], Syriac ܢܰܦܬܳܐ naftā, and Hebrew נֵפְט neft, meaning petroleum).[5]
