Myths about Earth Names Debunked! Now it’s time for some food for thought… When we talk about our own names, or someone else’s, we often say things as if there is one universal truth—but what if there isn’t? What does this mean for those who have been hurt by these myths? There is a lot of research out there about the effects on people who have felt shame or oppression because their Earth name didn’t fit in with what society deems as ‘normal’.
If you’re still not convinced, let’s take it back to primary school and find out how we all learned that our English language has an alphabet. We are taught this early on so that when we start learning other languages later down the track, these letters will be familiar: Aa Bb Cc Dd Ee Ff Gg Hh Ii Jj Kk Ll Mm Nn Oo Pp Qq Rr Ss Tt Uu Vv Ww Xx Yy Zz. But did you know there is no such
Myth #0:
Earth’s name is “The Earth.” This myth couldn’t be further from the truth. The word ‘earth’ comes from Old English and it means dry ground, as opposed to water (Old Norse). Our planet was known by many other names in ancient times including Ge, Gaia,, Terra Mater, Pangeaand Tellus. But did you know that one of our old-time faves – Mother Earth – has a really long history? It’s been used since at least 1796! Perhaps nobody knows for sure where this term originated but we’re pretty convinced it came about because early man viewed all living things on earth as being under the protection of their own mother goddess deity.
It turns out that each culture had a different name for the planet.

We have a lot of myths about earth names, but this blog post will debunk three popular ones for you! The first myth we’re going to explore is that our planet’s name originates from Greek mythology and was called Gaia because it symbolized Mother Earth. This is not true; in fact, they had two versions: Ge (meaning “earth”) and Thera Mater (“Mother Earth”). They also didn’t call her Gaia until Hellenistic times – way after she was named by other cultures such as Russia or Ireland. Another common misconception is that where the word “Earth” comes from Irish traditions which closely resembled those of ancient Greece. But what most people don’t know is that Ireland’s name for their world actually comes from a word that means “ground”. So while the Irish may have influenced how some cultures refer to our planet, it goes without saying they didn’t do so with their original earth names. The final myth we’re going to explore is that people in ancient times believed Earth was flat. This one has been debunked and proven false by scholars who’ve looked into ancient texts like Bible translations or Egyptian hieroglyphs.
Here are three myths about Earth names! We now know where the term “Earth” originates from: Ge (Greek) + Thera Mater (“Mother of all”) = Mother-Ground; not Gaia which symbolizes motherhood more closely than the ground below us.
It’s important to note that Ireland doesn’t use the term Mother-Ground for their world, but rather “Éire” which translates as ground. The second myth we’re going to explore is a common misconception that people in ancient times believed Earth was flat. Scholars have debunked this one and found evidence of an understanding of our planet’s spherical shape from sources like Bible translations or Egyptian hieroglyphs. The last myth we’ll explore is that Irish culture influenced other cultures with their original earth names – it turns out, they didn’t! In fact, éire means ground/soil (as opposed to Gaia) and Érinsaí would be translated as Erin’s Island instead of Erin’s Land.

Myth #01: The Earth is actually called “Earth”
The real name of the planet, in its original language, is Erde. This has been translated from German to English as “Earth.” But for all intents and purposes, it’s still the same word. There are other words that exist with this spelling but have different meanings in various languages across our world – remember that there are over 600 languages currently spoken on Earth! It can be hard to keep track of these sometimes when we’re dealing with so many cultures at once..but don’t let a few letters fool you into thinking something else entirely!
Myth #02: Our Planet Isn’t Unique; Some Planets Have Other Names Like Mars
Yes, Mars is called “Marth” in Arabic, which is its original language. Does this mean it’s not as special? Not at all! Every planet has a unique name because every culture on Earth holds their own uniqueness and beauty to be important – we may speak different languages but the idea behind our names for planets are universal. Myth #03: The Name of Planet Earth Has Always Been Earth The etymology of the word Erde points back to Old English and Proto-Germanic roots from before Latin came into being; so, no matter how you slice it, there have always been variations across time. If you go through old texts or hear stories passed down orally over generations (that’s right, myths!), many
