Why is the symbol for carbon Cand for potassium K while for iron Fe?

At a glance, the periodic table naming system and atomic symbol assignment system can seem rather arbitrary at times. However, there is a method to the madness.

Iron was given the symbol Fe because it was assigned the Latin name for iron, "ferrum".
