The name "Pluto" comes from the Roman god of the underworld, derived from the Greek god Hades. The name is associated with wealth and abundance, as Pluto was also considered a deity of riches due to the minerals found underground. The name was adopted for the dwarf planet in 1930 by its discoverer, Clyde Tombaugh, who chose it partly because it begins with the initials of Percival Lowell, a key figure in the search for a ninth planet.
