John Bode was the famous astronomer who first proposed the bogus name "Uranus", and had considerable influence because he was instrumental in helping to locate the planet. His explanation was about lineage--Mars was the son of Jupiter, who was the son of Saturn, so Saturn should be the son of the next named planet.
However, the firm tradition was to use the names of Roman deities, not their Greek equivalents. So, for some unexplained reason, he unnecessarily violated tradition and actually made up a latinized version of the Greek name that the Romans never used.
If he had suggested "Caelus", which WAS the Roman name for Saturn's father, it most likely would have been readily accepted without question. So, what went wrong? It took nearly 70 years for astronomers to finally settle for "Uranus", simply because the next planet outside the orbit of Saturn, Neptune, had already been named, and they STILL hadn't come up with any other agreed-upon name for the first one.

honors Herschel, since it was deliberately designed as the letter "H" above the orb. But the name "Uran" honors BOTH the Greek version for the name of the original Greek deity of the Heavens, Ouranos, AND the Latin name for the goddess of the Heavens, Urania.
