Word origin
The word 'galaxy' originated from the Greek word 'galaxias' which means 'milky'. It was first used in English to refer to the Milky Way galaxy in the 14th century. The term has since been expanded to refer to any large system of stars, including our own solar system. In the 20th century, the term 'Galaxy' was also adopted by Samsung Electronics as a brand name for their popular line of mobile devices.
