Lucky Number Seventy-four

Why is "W" the symbol for Tungsten? That's so confusing. "H" for Hydrogen, "C" for Carbon, and....."W" for Tungsten? Have a look for yourself, it's #74. I was going to learn a bit more about Tungsten because I'm on the verge of buying a Tungsten Ring or two, but now I'm just confused. Off to wiki I go!
