Not all element symbols come from English words. Iron is one example.
Fe comes from the Latin word for iron: ferrum. In chemistry 'ferric' indicates the trivalent ion, Fe3+ and 'ferrous' indicates the divalent ion, Fe2+. Ferric oxide or Iron(III) oxide is rust, Fe2O3.
There are other examples including:
Tungsten, W for wolfram;
Sodium, Na for natrium;
Potassium, K for kalium.
