The chemical Au (gold) was not discovered as such, in that native samples of gold (in the form of gold nuggets) can be found in the earth. The symbol for gold, Au, is latin in origin, coming from Aurum, meaning gold. The symbol is certainly older than the Periodic Table, published in 1871, possibly due to its importance in alchemy.
