Okay, I just… what? Why is “Na” called “Sodium” in English? Why?
THAT DOESN’T EVEN MAKE SENSE!
“In medieval Europe, a compound of sodium with the Latin name of sodanum was used as a headache remedy. The name sodium is thought to originate from the Arabic suda, meaning headache, as the headache-alleviating properties of sodium carbonate or soda were well known in early times”
The symbol Na is from the Latin natrium.
