The symbol for the element lead is Pb because it is derived from its Latin name, "plumbum." In the Periodic Table, elements are represented by one or two letters, with the first letter always capitalized. In the case of lead, the symbol Pb was chosen to reflect its Latin origins and to avoid confusion with other elements that might have similar symbols.
