I don't have any of the ancient Latin names, but I must jump in here and
point out that before 1781, only six planets were known.

The existence of Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto could not be established without
Newton's work and without the telescope.

Original names of the country?

The original names of countries often reflect their historical, cultural, or geographical significance. For example, "Japan" is derived from "Nihon" or "Nippon," meaning "origin of the sun."

Why did the astronomers name the planets in our solar system after ancient gods?

AnswerBecause that time they only thought of god and nobody else that was the greek time, so the planets are named after a god!!!!!The Romans and Greeks associated planets with certain gods for Astrological purposes. For a long time scientists used Latin in formal writings so kept the names the Romans used for the planets Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. When Neptune, Uranus and Pluto were discovered the names were chosen just to be 'in keeping' with the other planets.
