"The Moon" got this name because it was the only one, like "the Sun" and "the Earth". We never knew that there were others, so we didn't bother to come up with proper names for them. Once we knew that there were other things like them existed, then we came up with unique names for them. Like Jupiter's moons, Europa, Io, Ganymede and Callisto.
If I could name the Moon (something other than "The Moon") I'd probably name it something like "Liberty" or "Freedom". But that's just me.
What else can I help you with?
