This is the reverse of the actual situation.

Hades was the Greek god of the underworld, and Pluto is his Roman counterpart. The English language uses the Roman god names for the 5 planets known to them, and Neptune and Pluto (discovered much later). Only Uranus has a Greek god's name (the Latinized form of Ouranos).

Originally, the Romans had an earth-god named Dis Pater, often shortened to Dis.
