Pluto was discovered in 1930. The person who discovered Pluto was a guy named Clyde W. Tombaugh. After he discovered Pluto they called Pluto Planet X. But later a girl named Venetia Katherine Douglas Phair, born in 1919. She came up with the name Pluto because the planets description sounded just like the god of darkness and the underworld.
