The symbol for each element needs to have a different letter, or letters, to distinguish it from others. A single letter (in the Latin alphabet) is only enough for 26 different elements, and 118 elements are known so far, so two-letter codes are required for most elements. If you mean, different to the element's name, that is (a) due to the requirement of having unique codes, and (b) because Latin names for some elements are different to the English names. For example, the Latin name for gold is aurum, so the symbol "Au" was chosen for gold.
