SPExplaination 👇
The name "Earth" doesn't come from a single person-it evolved over time from ancient languages.
The word comes from Old English "eorbe", which meant ground or soil.
It also has roots in Germanic languages (like Old High German "erda").
Unlike most planets (like Mars or Jupiter), Earth is not named after a god.
So basically, no one officially "named" Earth-people in ancient times just used their everyday word for the ground they lived on, and it became the planet's name over time.
