It comes from the Ancient Romans. The Romans had a god named Pluto. The ancient Greeks called him Hades god of the underworld.

No,

. Pluto was discovered in 1930 by Clyde Tombaugh. Astronomers noticed that the orbits of Neptune and Uranus were being affected by the gravity of an unknown object in this solar system. Clyde Tombaugh carefully studied images of the night sky and after a lot of hard work he finally discovered Pluto. Clyde Tombaugh was only 24 years old when he made this discovery. He named it after his wife.
