In the surrounding planets of Sol (our sun), only Earth is called after Erda "Earth", a Norse (Viking) goddess of the Earth.

The dwarf planet Eris (formally Xena) is the Greek goddess of strife.

Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are all named after Roman deities, as well as the dwarf planets Pluto and Ceres.
