Best Answer

You simply have to learn them. Many of the more common elements were discovered and named long before the English language and so their symbols are derived from their original names.

Examples:

Iron = Fe from ferrum

Gold = Au from aurum

Sodium = Na from natrium

Potassiom = K from kalium
