Explanation of Solution
Sodium − Natrium (Na):
The latin name of sodium is natrium and is derived from nitron(a name for sodium carbonate) which is a Greek word. The nitron actually originates from the Arabic word natrum. So, because of the name Natrium the symbol Na came.
Potassium − Kalium (K):
The latin name of potassium is kalium, which is derived from al qaliy (arabic word). Al qaliy means the leftover ashes when the plant material is burnt also called as calcined ashes. So, the name Kalium is the reason behind where the symbol K came.
Copper − Cuprum (Cu):
The latin name of copper is cyprium, which is derived from Greek name Kypros(cyprus). Cyprus is an island which is famous for the copper reserves. So, the symbol Cu came because of name cuprum.
Silver − Argentum (Ag):
The latin name of silver is argentums and only because of this name the symbol Ag came into being.
