Some elements' names are not in English because they were named by their discoverers, who may have chosen names from a variety of languages. These names often reflect the element's properties, appearance, or historical significance.
Latin was one of the first languages. Many other languages have Latin roots. And Not all the elements have Latin names. Some are named after famous people and scientist. Such as Einsteinium.
Because there are languages other than English, and elements have different names in those languages. Some of the symbols are taken from those languages instead. Latin is probably the most common; it's responsible for Fe, Na, K, Cu, Ag, Au, Sn, Sb, and Pb (at least... there may be a few others I missed). Tungsten is called Wolfram in some countries, and its symbol W comes from that name.
some are in latin, some in english, the periodic table of the elements is all different languages.
Symbols in the periodic table are not based on the names of the elements for several reasons. Firstly, many elements have names that are derived from a different language than English, leading to different initials. Also, some elements have had their names changed over time, making consistency difficult. Lastly, using unique symbols helps to prevent confusion between elements with similar names.
because some elements are named after words in other languages, like latin.
Element symbols are based on the Latin names for the elements. In cases where two elements have names that start with the same letter, the symbol uses the first and sometimes the second letter of the name to differentiate them. For example, "Sodium" and "Sulfur" both start with 'S,' so their symbols are Na and S, respectively.
some elements do not use their first letters of their English names as their symbols. The symbols for these elements may come from the names of the elements in a different language.
Many elements names are of Greek and Latin words. Some elements are name after where named after countries like France, German ect.
The same way you would say it in English - Names do not change between languages. Some names do have variants in other languages, but Ashley does not change when spoken in Spanish.
Some elements are named after the compound that they came from, or some attribute of it. Other elements are named after some aspect of the way in which the element was found. Still, there are other elements that get their names from places. Another interesting group of names comes from mythology. -Nev Singhota
