IUPAC
The names of recently discovered elements are usually proposed by the team discovering it but the names must be approved by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC).
english-names of elements.
Elements got their names from their latin names,greek gods,or from the names of the persons who discovered them.
the elements get their symbols through the number of protons (or electrons) which is the atomic number. The mass number comes form the number of neutrons + protons =] electrons have no relative mass (0.0005(zero))
Many elements were known and named in prehistory or in very early times and their names - or variations - are in use now. In several cases, we use an English name but the symbol is based on the Latin name - for example gold is Au (Aurum).Names for newly discovered elements have to be approved by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC). According to IUPAC rules, elements can be named after a mythological concept, a mineral, a place or country, a property, or a scientist.

All of the elements have German names when writing or speaking in German. However, only one element has an international atomic symbol derived from its German name: That is tungsten, for which the German name is Wolfram and the atomic symbol is W.

Scientists use symbols to represent elements and compounds. The symbols of a chemical element are abbreviations that are used to denote a chemical element. Typically, they are one or two-letters long with the first letter (only) capitalised; temporary names are three-letters long. !
The disadvantage of common names is that they do not tell you the chemical formula. Common names advantages are that non chemists can identify them/

Scientists use them to tell the different elements apart. There are over 100 elements so it would be confusing to tell them apart without the names. Scientists can communicate about the elements wherever they are across the globe. Chemists would not be able to make chemicals and medicines easily if there were no chemical symbols. Hope this helps.
