Uranus (mythology) Uranus (/ËjÊÉrÉnÉs/ or /jÊËreÉªnÉs/; Ancient Greek Î¿á½ÏÎ±Î½ÏÏ, Ouranos [oËranÃ³s] meaning sky or heaven) was the primal Greek god personifying the sky. His name in Roman mythology was Caelus. In Ancient Greek literature, Uranus or Father Sky was the son and husband of Gaia, Mother Earth. According to Hesiod's Theogony, Uranus was conceived by Gaia alone, but other sources cite Aether as his father.
The planet Uranus was originally named Georgium sidus, the Georgian Star, after King George III of England, who had funded the 40-foot telescope William Herschel used in its discovery. On his fatherâs death in 1751, the 12-year-old George became prince of Wales.
