The names we use now are all Roman in origin except Uranus and Earth, but the naming conventions were maintained with the more recently discovered planets.

The Greek names for the planets in our solar system are: Mercury - Hermes Venus - Aphrodite Earth - Gaia Mars - Ares Jupiter - Zeus Saturn - Cronus Uranus - Ouranos Neptune - Poseidon These names come from Greek mythology, where each planet is associated with a corresponding deity.
A lot of the Roman ideals and beliefs were taken from the Ancient Greeks. For example, the Roman gods are the same as the Greek gods, just with different names.
All the planets names are from Roman mythology, not Greek.

Yassou, which means hi/bye (kind of like ciao in Italian) Don't Know about Ancient Greek words
planets were named as discovered, so when the Greeks found them the were named with greek,
I don't have any of the ancient Latin names, but I must jump in here andpoint out that before 1781, only six planets were known.The existence of Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto could not be established withoutNewton's work and without the telescope.
The ancient Greek Gods did not have second (or family) names.
Amphitheatres?
The names of the 8 planets in our solar system are derived from ancient Roman deities. The planets Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn were named after Roman gods, while Uranus was named after a Greek god and Neptune was named after the Roman god of the sea, and Earth's name is derived from Old English and Germanic words meaning "ground" or "soil."
they get their names from the greek Gods like Venus.
