I haven't heard of the key of D#, but if it did exist it would contain two
double sharps. All chord symbols are named by convention. As for the root
relating to the key signature; I doubt it, because musical compositions contain
many tonal center shifts - hence accidentals. The root of a chord symbol and
is related more to the the momentary tonal (key) center, not necessarily the
written key signature.
