Pluto is a masculine Roman name of Greek origin. In Roman mythology, Pluto is the brother of the sky god Jupiter and sea god Neptune, with Pluto’s domain being the Underworld. His Greek counterpart is Hades, and people generally see these figures as misunderstood. Sure, they rule the Underworld—a ghostly region that’s rather scary in most areas and is essentially the Greek and Roman afterlife. But when looking into their myths, Pluto and Hades are pretty chill compared to their more… excitable siblings. Pluto derives from the Greek Plouton, meaning “wealth” and “riches,” which makes sense when you consider the treasures that lie in the mysterious depths of Earth’s underground. Famously, Pluto is the name of a former planet in our solar system and of Mickey Mouse’s loveable dog. A name that has earned its place in faith, pop culture, and the stars, Pluto is not shy in showing off your fascination for all things otherworldly.
