Gold is the English language name for the element whose Latin form is 'aurum'. The Latin version of the metal's name also is the source of the element's chemical symbol, 'Au'. In some cases, the Latin word traces back to the earlier, more ancient, classical Greek. Such isn't the case with gold. For the Greek word for gold is 'chrysion'.
