If you look at the Periodic Table (go to webelements.com to see one if you dont have one) the symbol is the letter or two in the middle of each square. For example, the symbol for Hydrogen is "H", the symbol for Potassium is "K", the symbol for neon is "Ne" & The symbol for Carbon is "C". The symbol is always one or two letters, except for the last few elements, which for now have 3, until they get real names.
We use symbols for elements. Those are Latin in names. There are above 118 elements.
Symbols of the chemical elements are abbreviated forms of the names.

Most of the symbols on the Periodic Table have symbols for the latin name of the element. AU = Aureum = Gold.

The periodic table usually displays the symbols and names of the elements, along with information about the structure of their atoms.
