The English word Tungsten is derived from the Swedish term tung sten, "heavy stone".

In other languages, the element W is referred to as Wolfram, from the German words wolf and rahm(meaning cream). Tungsten seems to occur in Metallurgy as part of a corrosive foam, hence this name "wolf cream".

The official Latin name is then found simply as Wolframium.
