Eleven elements have names in Latin. Here they are, in ascending atomic number:
- Sodium (Latin: natrium)
- Potassium (Latin: kalium)
- Iron (Latin: ferrum)
- Copper (Latin: cuprum)
- Silver (Latin: argentum)
- Tin (Latin: stannum)
- Antimony (Latin: stibium)
- Mercury (Latin: hydragyrum)
- Gold (Latin: aurum)
- Lead (Latin: plumbum)
However, there are other elements whose names come from a Latin form of a word in another language. For example, bismuthcomes from the Modern Latin word bisemutum, which in turn comes from the German word wismuth , further from German weiße masse "white mass" (bismuth has an almost purely white color in its pure metallic form).
There are also elements whose English names are based on Latin words that enter English somehow. For example, carbon gets its name from the French word charbone, which comes from the Latin word carbo "charcoal."
