Well actually, Zeus is a Greek god. When the Romans came along, they decided that they liked who the gods stood for. They just changed a few things. For one, they didn't want their gods to have flaws: they made them images of unattainable perfection. They also changed their names. They changed Zeus' name to Jupiter.
It wasn't the Romans who named the planets after gods. It was scientists, many years later, who decided that they would name them after Roman gods. And Jupiter wasn't the only one:
Neptune was god of the sea.
Pluto was the god of the Underworld.
Mars was the God of War.
Venus was the goddess of love.
Mercury was the messenger for the gods.
Uranus was the god of time.
...And Saturn was Uranus' father.
