Always found it odd that it's Potassium in English and not Kalium.
RationalViking
same in norwegian
Zuir
In German is Kalium
madmanmoe64
Probably from Potash, a mineral source of potassium

That's because it's called Kalium.

Why is it a K anyway?
CatOnTheRoof
Because the rest of the world calls it Kalium
nouseforaheart
Short for Kotassium
thesplashingblumpkins
it comes from Kazakhstan. All other countries have inferior potassium
SusieString
Potassium is called Kalium where I'm from.
thorgod
In Latin that is ?
ThePastmaster
Kalium. Neo-Latin.
Jattetont
Because it's Kalium in... Greek? Latin? German?
thorgod
Latin, see termination of the word. Why bring the germans in discussion?
NaturallyHighPenguin
Because probably it was Ludwig Wilhelm Gilbert who first proposed the name "Kalium" in 1809. He was German.
thorgod
The word is latin not german
NaturallyHighPenguin
Also "kali(um)" itself stems from the root word alkali, which in turn comes from Arabic: القَلْيَه al-qalyah "plant ashes."
Magnasplit
Because its called "Kalium" in the rest of the world. Most of the early elements were not discovered by people who spoke english
icsaza
The rest of the world call it potassium,but the sign in periodic table is "K" due to older and lesser known name "kalium"
RackhamTheRed

I see you over there discovering radon Canada
swefur
That is inaccurate. Yttrium and Ytterbium for example, came from the same mine, same sample even, as Erbium(Er) and Terbium(Tb). Ytterby.
clk62
No, it's correct. Check the Wikipedia articles.
Radix865
But the person who discovered it was a Finn, Johan Gadolin.
clk62
Not the rest of the world, it's called Kalium only in Germanic countries.
ssolomonhu
What a'bout AMERICIUM?!!?

I am Msc in chemistry and in error referred to the science world. I could have been clearer

Bull. Its kalium here too and definitely not germanic.

Kalium is the name of Potassium in the periodic table, symbol “K”.

It would be easier if we could all just agree to call them by their original names...

Please don't fuck potassium, it'll make your dick explode.

Im nor sure if that's true. As a youth i put my dick in a banana or two. And let me tell you, it did NOT explode. Not combustion, anyway.
