∙ 12y agoAll of the planets except Earth and Uranus and arguably Pluto were named for Roman Divinities.
Uranus is named for Ouranos, father Kronos and the Titans. His Roman counterpart was Caelos.
Pluto is commonly though to be the Roman name for Hades, but in fact Pluto is just a Latin version of Plouton, the Greek god of the Underworld. His Roman Counterpart was Dis Pater.
