Answer:

Kalium

Potassium – Kalium (K)

'Kalium' is potassium's Latin name, and derives from the Arabic 'al qalīy', meaning “calcined ashes” (the ashes left over when plant material is burned). As with sodium, a number of modern languages still refer to potassium as kalium, and the name lends the element its chemical symbol, K.
