Hey Mr. Tails! I had a question: why do some Element symbols not match the name of the actual element? Like Lead is Pb for some reason?

Excellent question! In many cases it's because the symbol is based on the Latin name for the element instead of the English name. For example, Sodium (Na) in Latin is Natrium and Potassium (K) in Latin is Kalium.
