Na stands for #Natrium; #NaCl is called Natrium Chloride here.

In the USA NaCl is called Sodium Chloride. I always wondered why.

I suspect that Lot's wife is to blame for this. She looked behind her at Sodom and was turned into a pillar of salt, hence Sodium Chloride.

Thanks a Lot's wife, for creating this confusion!
