Earth is often associated with Gaea, the Greek goddess of the Earth, due to her representation of the planet as a living entity. In mythology, Gaea personifies the Earth, symbolizing fertility and the nurturing aspects of nature. The name "Earth" itself derives from Old English and Germanic roots, but the connection to Gaea reflects humanity's historical reverence for the planet as a divine and life-giving force.
