Who named our planet EARTH??

Answer 1

Neanderthal inventor Boge Natz and his wife Ralph.

Answer 2

It's pretty impossible to say exactly who first named the planet 'Earth'. It developed over time as part of the English language. Earth is Old English and German in origin, related to the Old Saxon 'ertha', the Dutch 'aerde', and the German 'erda'. Terra is a French and Latin word, and so isn't part of the 'Earth' etymology. People used Earth to mean 'land' and then it was the natural thing to refer to all the land and the planet. The name is at least 1000 years old.

Answer 3

Earth is the term the Druids and other ancient cultures came up with to describe that which we walk upon, it's Mother Nature or Mother Earth, and not everyone calls it that, each language has it's own word silly. Maybe someone out there calls it planet "Bob".

Answer 4

I'm guessing it was John Earth. But then they renamed the stuff they walked on from Earth to Dirt and forgot to rename the planet to Planet Dirt.

Answer 5

earth
O.E. eorðe "ground, soil, dry land," also used (along with middangeard) for "the (material) world" (as opposed to the heavens or the underworld), from P.Gmc. *ertho (cf. O.N. jörð, M.Du. eerde, O.H.G. erda, Goth. airþa), from PIE base *er-. The earth considered as a planet was so called from c.1400. Earthy in the fig. sense of "coarse, unrefined" is from 1594. Earthworm first attested 1591. Earthwork is from 1633. Earthlight apparently coined 1833 by British astronomer John Herschel.
