William Herschel was going to name the planet Georgium Sidu (George's Star). But Johann Elert Bode decided to name it Uranus the Latinized version of the greek god of the sky Ouranus. He argued for it to be named after the father of Saturn. Finally it was switched from Georgium Sidus to Uranus.
Uranus comes from the name of the mythological Greek god of the sky.
