What is the meaning the name of Uranus?

Answer 1

It is from the Greek word (ouranos) for "sky", or "heavens".

The first planet discovered that was not known in ancient times, Uranus was named for the god of Heaven, Uranus, father of the Titans (Greek ouranos, "sky", or "heavens") and therefore grandfather of Zeus (Jupiter).

The planet was discovered and identified as a planet in 1781. It had been observed before, but mistaken for a star in 1690 when John Flamsteed catalogued it as 34 Tauri. The discoverer, Herschel, proposed calling it Georgium Sidus, "George's Star," in honour of his patron, King George III of England. Therefore the planet was known in England in the 1780s as the Georgian Planet, but French astronomers began calling it Herschel.

German astronomer Johann Bode proposed Uranus, in conformity with other planet names. However, the name didn't become common usage until around 1850.
