Prometheus is a Latinized version of a Greek name. Many of the miscellaneous figures in Greek mythology did not get renamed for the Romans. They simply "Latinized" their named. In Greek, Prometheus would have been Προμηθεύς.

Prometheus IS his Greek name. Keep in mind that the Roman religion is a mix of the Greek pantheon with Etruscan and Latin names. Since there was no Latin or Estruscan equivalent, the Romans didn't change his name.

His name means 'Forethought'

The Romans incorporated the myths of Prometheus into their mythology, since their original religion didn't include Titans, they had no counterpart for him. His name was incorporated as is.
