Sodium is from the medieval Latin word sodanum which may have come from the Arabic word suda, meaning headache. Sodium was a major component of sodium carbonate which was used to treat headaches (stomache aches probably, but...). The modern symbol is Na for Natrum (another Latin word for sodium...).
