Reply to comment by shrye in TIL there was a town in the Philippines called "Sexmoan". The name was changed to "Sasmuan" in 1991. by Ixz72

The name Uranus is definitely older, being an ancient Greek primordial sky god.

Curiously, Uranus is the only one of the planets to be named after the Greek version of a god rather than the Roman one. Uranus's Roman equivalent is called Caelus, a name wholely unlikely to inspire any lewd jokes.
