hey....

The google baba says that Earth became the common translation of the Latin Terraand the Greek Gaia, which I think were derived the same way. And similar things happened in other Germanic languages.

In English usage, the planet is also sometimes called Terra, especially in Science Fiction..

hope u get ur answer..

LalK: The answer is, we don't know. The name "Earth" is derived from both English and German words, 'eor(th)e/ertha' and 'erde', respectively, which mean ground. But, the handle's creator is unknown. One interesting fact about its name:Earth is the only planet that wasn't named after a Greek or Roman god or goddess.

guri57: thank u
