Etymology
The name 'Pluto' was proposed by an 11-year-old girl named Venetia Burney in 1930. She suggested the name to her grandfather, who was a librarian at the time and passed it along to the Lowell Observatory in Arizona, where the discovery of the planet was announced. Pluto was named after the Roman god of the underworld, and it was considered a fitting name for a distant and cold planet at the edge of the solar system.
