Naming

Prior to the discovery of telescopes, the ancient Romans could only see seven bodies in space. These bodies were bright and included five bright planets, as well as the Sun and Moon. Ancient Roman astronomers named visible planets after Roman gods, and after the invention of telescopes, astronomers continued this tradition and drew upon the names of Roman gods for new planets. However, an exception was made for Uranus, since the name is the only one that is based purely on Greek mythology. The name "Uranus" is a reference to the Greek god of the sky, Uranus. According to Greek mythology, Uranus was the grandfather of Zeus (Jupiter) and father of Cronus (Saturn).

Upon discovery of the planet, Herschel wanted to name it Georgium Sidus, in honor of King George III, who was his patron. Essentially, the name meant the "Georgian Planet" or "George’s Star." However, the name was not a popular choice outside of Britain, and so alternative names were proposed. For example, French astronomer Jérôme Lalande proposed the name "Herschel" in order to honor the person responsible for its discovery, while the name "Neptune" was proposed by Swedish astronomer Erik Prosperin. Some British astronomers liked Prosperin's proposed name, yet with a slight modification to either Neptune Great Britain or Neptune George III in honor of the British Royal Navy. Eventually, the astronomers settled on the name Uranus in March 1782, upon the recommendation of German astronomer Johann Elert Bode.​
