Berzelius was an asshole. Antimony is Antimon* in most languages, even in German, but he chose Sb from Latin stibium
Found one more, with a similar double name, but there he used at least the German name: Tungsten (W) is Wolfram in German
There are also Sn (Stannous) for Tin, Pb (Plumbum) for Lead, Fe (Ferrum) for Iron, Hg (Hydrargyrum) for Mercury, Au (Aurum) for Gold and Ag (Argentum) for Silver.
Those are just the Latin names for already known elements. Not quite the same difference imo.
