The easily visible planets have had different names given by different civilizations and cultures. The Romans named Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn after their gods and these names were adopted by the Europeans. When Uranus was discovered several names were proposed. Johann Bode, an astronomer, wanted the name to match the mythological names given the other planets and so it was done. When Neptune was discovered it was named by the informal consent of scientists.
