"Aluminum" is a name that predates standardization that has stuck in the US and I believe Canada.
Go with "Aluminium" and "Sulfur" to go with the standards and to piss off two countries at once.

What is this element in your language? "Potassium" in English, due to the fact that it was often synthesized from Potash in the olden days.

>Neither elemental potassium nor potassium salts (as separate entities from other salts) were known in Roman times, and the Latin name of the element, kalium, is not Classical Latin but rather neo-Latin. Kalium was taken from the word alkali, which in turn came from Arabic: القَلْيَه al-qalyah "plant ashes." The similar-sounding English term alkali is from this same root, whereas the word for potassium in Modern Standard Arabic is بوتاسيوم būtāsyūm.

Maybe the English influence over time during the start of Arab dark age in 19th-20th century, perhaps?

Probably, but the irony is a bit tasty.
In any case the names are from two different languages' words for "potash".
