In English, Mars carries a name of the Roman god of war, and is often referred to as the "Red Planet" because the reddish iron oxide prevalent on its surface gives it a reddish appearance that is distinctive among the astronomical bodies visible to the naked eye.

Mars is called the red planet because of the color of it's soil. It's soil is made up of Iron oxide (Rust) giving it the reddish brown color.
