I got some thing to tell you Sir,
Small bricks make up the wall of a building. Then you should imagine bricks as the atoms, walls as the elements and buildings as the material. Your question is similar to the following question regarding the bricks " By which company the bricks are made? ".
My friend you should know that there are different types of the bricks. Like that there are different elements having their own chemical symblos. Suppose atom of gold as " Au ", Hydrogen " H ", etc. But in general you may represent an unknown atom as " X ".

just look at the period table !
the formulas of atoms are currently called symbols and they can be 1 or 2 or 3 letters.

It depends on the atom. They're not usually called formulas if they only involve one atom.
