The orbiting satellites of each planetary mass in our Solar System are designated as moons, but have been individually named in order to differentiate between them. Earth's singular satellite is designated as The Moon, a discrete astronomical entity that orbits the Earth, the third planet orbiting Sol, the Sun. Other satellites in this system have names based on mythological entities and places, such as Io, Europa, and Ganymede, to name three of Jupiter's 62 confirmed moons. http://www.go-astronomy.com/planets/planet-moons.htm http://www.spacetoday.org/SolSys/Moons/MoonsSolSys.html
