Origin:Latin
Other Origin(s):Roman
Meaning:To sow; Name of a Roman god and planet
Perfect for stargazers and astronomers alike, Saturn is a boy's name of Roman and Latin origin. While its precise meaning remains a mystery for now, Saturn stems from the name Saturnus, borne by the Roman god of time and agriculture. His Greek equivalent is the Titan Cronus, but it was Saturnus who inspired humans to name a planet after him. Known for its giant bright rings, Saturn is the most remote planet visible to the naked human eye. Saturn may stem from the root serere, meaning “to sow.” With this in mind, Saturn makes a great choice for those who love to drift, daydream, and plant seeds for a better tomorrow. While baby Saturn may seem miles away, they're most likely having fun in their own little world.
