Etymology
nb, based on nb la Neptūnus Neptune, the Roman god of water and the sea. The Norwegian form reflects the widespread international form of the name without the Latin ending -us.
The deeper origin of the Latin name is disputed. One proposal derives la Neptūnus from nb itc-pro *neptūnos, ultimately connecting it with nb ine-pro *nébʰos cloud, moisture, mist and a notion of wetness or moisture. Other etymologies have also been proposed, including comparison with the Indo-Iranian divine name Apām Napāt, but no deeper derivation is universally accepted. Compare ett 𐌍𐌄𐌈𐌖𐌍𐌔 Nethuns, the name of the corresponding Etruscan water deity; the exact historical relationship between the Latin and Etruscan names is uncertain.
The astronomical sense is transferred from the name of the Roman deity. The planet was discovered in 1846 after Urbain Le Verrier calculated the position of a previously unknown planet from irregularities in the orbit of Uranus, allowing Johann Gottfried Galle and Heinrich Louis d'Arrest to identify it telescopically. Several names were proposed after the discovery, including Janus and Oceanus; Le Verrier proposed Neptune, which subsequently became internationally accepted.
Parallel international forms include da Neptun, sv Neptunus, de Neptun, nl Neptunus, fr Neptune, it Nettuno and en Neptune.
