@Arden Beg your pardon, who exactly is that "Europe" you're asking that? In my native German, it's "Platin", "Lanthan", "Molybdän", but still "Aluminium" (and "Holmium" and ...)
I suppose that anyone more fond of Latin than I am would have a fieldday explaining how, in a proper language, "-um" and "-ium" indicate different grammatical gender or whatnot ...
