Thanks for correcting.

I was thinking about changing the link and title with this one, is it better? https://sciencenotes.org/how-did-earth-get-its-name/

I like how this article ends up describing the difference between naming Earth as opposed to other planets and the more in-depth etymological explenations of all the names.

Sorry, I find etymology interesting, and the original post caught my attention, so I felt compelled to point a few things out.
