Some elements in the Periodic Table have symbols which don't seem to match their names because over time their names have changed. The symbols are usually based on earlier versions of their names. Here are some examples....
Sodium (Na) old name Natrium
Potassium (K) old name Kalium
Mercury (Hg) old name Hydragyrum
Tin (Sn) old name Stanum
Antimony (Sb) old name Stibnium
Copper (Cu) Cuprum
Iron (Fe) Ferrum
Lead (Pb) Plumbum
