There are other examples including: Tungsten, W for wolfram; Sodium, Na for natrium; Potassium, K for kalium.

Why does the chemical symbol for gold not match its element name?
It does, if you speak Latin. Au is short for aurum, the Latin word for gold. Other cases where this is true: * Silver: Ag, from Latin argentum * Tin: Sn, from Latin stannum * Iron: Fe, from Latin ferrum * Lead: Pb, from Latin plumbum * Antimony: Sb, from Latin stibnum * Sodium: Na, from Latin natrium * Potassium: K, from Latin kalium (Some of those may be back-formations from the names of compounds, since the elements themselves weren't known in uncombined form while Latin was still a living language.) The only case where the symbol doesn't match (at least approximately) the name that does not come from Latin is tungsten: W, ultimately from wolframite, a tungsten ore (in some languages, the name for the metal is "wolfram" instead of tungsten).
