the sybols come from latin and german he germans are big into chemistry and they named some of them and the romans were the first to find these elements and they named them in latin and we changed the real name but none of the symbols
There are no elements whose symbol does not match their name -- in some language! The elements known to the ancients all match their latin names: Pb = plumbum = lead. Sn = stannum = tin. Cu = cuprum = copper. Au = aurum = gold Ag = argentum = silver Hg = hydrargyrum = mercury A few more recently discovered elements also match their latin names: Na = natrium = sodium K = kalium = potassium -- actually this name originally derives from the Arabic "al kali" -- recognize it? Sb = stibium = antimony One element has a symbol that matches its German name: W = Wolfram = tungsten I guess that makes about 10 elements whose symbol does not match their English name. Hope I have not forgotten any!
