Eleven elements have names in Latin. Here they are, in ascending atomic number:

  1. Sodium (Latin: natrium)
  2. Potassium (Latin: kalium)
  3. Iron (Latin: ferrum)
  4. Copper (Latin: cuprum)
  5. Silver (Latin: argentum)
  6. Tin (Latin: stannum)
  7. Antimony (Latin: stibium)
  8. Mercury (Latin: hydragyrum)
  9. Gold (Latin: aurum)
  10. Lead (Latin: plumbum)


However, there are other elements whose names come from a Latin form of a word in another language. For example, bismuth comes from the Modern Latin word bisemutum, which in turn comes from the German word Wismuth.


Their symbols are the same as given  by Prerna.
