Iron got its chemical symbol, Fe, from the Latin word 'ferrum' which means 'iron.' Before the 20th century, Latin was the common language of science. The same word gives us 'ferrous,' as in 'ferrous metals'. Other chemical symbols from Latin that are not obviously connected with the modern names are Ag - Silver, from 'argentum' Hg - Mercury, from 'hydragyrum' ('water-silver') Sn - Tin, from 'stannum' Au - Gold, from 'aurum'
