The origin is the Hebrew word "shah-BAHT", with which that day is introduced and described in the Torah.
It was one of the Hebrew words that King James' commissioners decided to retain in its near-original form,
rather than try to find an English equivalent for their translation of the 'Old Testament'.

The name of the bread prepared for the Sabbath by Jews is called Challah. It has no unique "symbol" although the spelling of the name "Challah" in Hebrew letters is (חלה). (Note that the Sabbath-bread, or Challah, is actually baked before the Sabbath, since the Sabbath is a day of rest.)
