And we have some names that don’t fit to the ones mentioned in PSE:
H: Wasserstoff (water-stuff) = Hydrogen (meaning: where water originates from)
N: Stickstoff (suffocating-stuff)= Nitrogen
O: Sauerstoff (sour-stuff) = Oxygen
C: Kohlenstoff (coal-stuff) = Carbon
These names are of alchemic origin.
By knowing the real names of the elements you can get an idea where they originate from. Like Cu: Copper. Egypt got its “red metal” from a famous island called Cyprus. So one of copper’s first names was Cyprum. Over the years it became cuprum… copper!
Cobalt: In the past people knew cobalt as well but thought it was a kind of silver. As it was impossible to work with it the people thought there had been kobolds/goblins that ate the silver and “shitted” it out again. So the precious silver was cursed.

Based off the key words: “is sodium the english word for natrium”
from bing: The scientific name of sodium is “ Natrium ” from which its symbol ‘Na’ is derived. Naming and History There are two routes of the name. Sodium got its name from the English word “ Soda ”. This was because Humphry Davy used caustic soda for its isolation. The other was from the Medieval Latin word “ sodanum ” which means “ headache remedy ”.
thought of course i dont fully know so research yourself

In German, we do! ;-) And in some other languages as well! ;-) It’s just you native English speakers who don’t! :-D
In the PSE (PTE) there are some more elements with different German names:
Na: Natrium = Sodium
K: Kalium = Potassium
W: Wolfram = Tungsten
Hg : Quecksilber/Hydrargyrum = Mercury/Quicksilver
Bi: Bismut/Wismut = Bismuth
