It's not. It's just named after dirt.

I know, that was my point. The comment I was replying to said “all the other planets are named after Roman gods”.

Ah. Yes, they meant all the other discovered planets are.

How is Earth not a discovered planet? Discovering it was one of the first things I did after being born.

Because it was "discovered" long before we even knew what a planet was.
