people live on Earth so they never thaught to name it as one of the "wanderers" which we call planets today, however in greek mythology there was a goddess of the earth named Gaea, and the same in roman culture was ceres, people also thaught that earth was the center of the universe at one point, so its just one giant circle of confusion believe what you want though. i believe Earth was made by God, and he named it as we call it today. that doesnt exactly answer the question but it does point out that it could have just as well been named Gaea or Ceres.
