Name:
Earth is (beside Sedna) the only planet in the solar system, whose name is not derived from the Greek or Roman mythology, the origin of the now used form of naming comes from the Anglo-Saxon word Erda (Erdaz), which means ground, soil, and Earth, the word changed to Eorthe or Erthe in Old English and to Erde in German.
<SMALL>8th Century, in Old High German: erda, al therda, from OHG al th[iu] erda 'der gesamte Erdkreis', (meaning: hole world, earth)
Latin: Terra, Norwegian: Jorda, Icelandic: Jord, Aramaic: Ereds, Hebrew: Eretz, Greek: Era.</SMALL>
The name of Earth in other languages Other names of Mother Earth
Earth goddesses: Hertha, Erda, Jörd, Fjörgyn, Hlödyn, Gaia, Tellus.
The Iroquois name for Mother Earth is Etenoha, the Lakota call her Ina Maka.
Best I could get on short notice

Question - How did planet earth get its name?
------------------------------------------------
The word Earth originates from the Middle English word, erthe, which came
from Old English eorthe; akin to Old High German erda. This then traces
back to the Greek, eraze from the Hebrew erez, meaning ground.
