Whoa folks... be specific.
Only molten (liquid) sulfur is called "Brimstone".
The truth is that Sulfur is the original name, only the spelling has changed (Sulpur in Latin or Sulvari in Sanskrit)
The only different name I know of is shiliuhuang. This is Chinese, but I believe it comes over 200 years later than the name of Sulfur.

English translations of the Bible commonly refer to sulfur as "brimstone".

I think sulfur was originally called brimstone. I might be wrong about that, but I'm pretty sure that I'm correct.
