Most of the planets were named after roman gods. These include mercury, venus, mars, jupiter, satrurn, and neptune. The guy who discovered pluto, Clyde W. Tombaugh, was influenced by the cold darkness of the planet. Since the underworld in roman mythology was considered dark and cold, Pluto was only fitting.
