earth was not discovered it is the planet in which we all live and is the only known planet having life. Allthough The name Earth originates from the 8th century Anglo-Saxon word erda, which means ground or soil, the dutch word 'aerde' and the German word 'erda'. In Old English the word became eorthe, then erthe in Middle English.

Earth was first used as the name of the sphere of the Earth around 1400. It is the only planet whose name in English is not derived from Greco-Roman mythology
