Best Answer

Tin is an element so technically the scientific name for tin is tin.

Answer

The Latin name for tin is stannum, from which words such as stannous, for salts of tin, is derived, as is the scientific abbreviation for tin, Sn. There is some conjecture that stannum was derived from the Cornish stean, since the West Country region of Great Britain was an early source of tin ore.
