Io (eye'-oe, IPA: [ˈaɪoʊ], Greek Ῑώ) is the innermost of the four Galilean moons of Jupiter. Io shines at magnitude 5.0 in the night sky. It is named after the Greek mythological figure Io, one of the many lovers of Zeus (who is also known as Jupiter in the Roman mythology).\n\nAlthough the name "Io" was suggested by Simon Marius soon after its discovery in 1610, this name and the names of the other Galilean satellites fell into disfavor for a considerable time, and were not revived in common use until the mid-20th century. In much of the earlier astronomical literature, Io is simply referred to by its Roman numeral designation as "Jupiter I", or simply as "the first satellite of Jupiter".

My guess:\n\nIn Roman mythology Pluto is the God of the underworld, which is all cold and dark.  The ninth planet is also cold and dark.  Hence, the name.

This older worship was associated with Numa Pompilius, the second king of Rome, who was believed to have had as his consort and adviser the Roman goddess of fountains and childbirth, Egeria, who is often identified as a nymph in later literary sources. New elements were added at a relatively early date, however. To the royal house of the Tarquins was ascribed by legend the establishment of the great Capitoline triad, Jupiter, Juno, and Minerva, which assumed the supreme place in Roman religion. Other additions were the worship of Diana on the Aventine Hill and the introduction of the Sibylline books, prophecies of world history, which, according to legend, were purchased by Tarquin in the late 6th century BC from the Cumaean Sibyl.

"Jove" is another name for Jupiter. In fact, it's the form that one uses to make the adjective. The satellites around Jupiter are called "Jovian moons."

January is the first month of the year in the Gregorian Calendar and one of seven Gregorian months with the length of 31 days.\n\nJanuary begins (astrologically) with the sun in the sign of Capricorn and ends in the sign of Aquarius. Astronomically speaking, the sun begins in the constellation of Sagittarius and ends in the constellation of Capricornus.\n\nJanuary is named for Janus, the god of doors and gateways in Roman mythology.\n\nThe original Roman calendar consisted of 10 months (304 days). The Romans originally considered winter a monthless period. Circa 700 BCE Romulus' successor, King Numa Pompilius, added the months of January and February allowing the calendar to equal a standard lunar year (364 days). A Roman superstition against even numbers resulted in the addition of one day thus equalling 365 days. Although March was originally the first month, January usurped that position because that was when consuls were usually chosen.

Zaragoza: couldnt find\n\nMerida: couldnt find\n\nMexico: After the Mexica branch of the Aztecs. The origin of the term "Mexxica" remains uncertain. Some take it as the old Nahuatl word for the sun. Others say it derived from the name of the leader Mexitli. Yet others simply ascribe it to a type of weed that grows in Lake Texcoco. Leon Portilla suggests that it means "navel of the moon" from Nahuatl metztli (moon) and xictli (navel). Alternatively, it could mean "navel of the maguey" (Nahuatl metl). \n\nCatalonia: couldnt find\n\nItaly: From Latin Italia, the name having entered Latin from a non-Latin source. The etymology of Italia probably directly relates to an ancient Greek word italos (bull), from PIE *wet; the Greek word follows the sound-changes from Proto-Indo-European to Greek, but the Latin equivalent vitulus (young bull) from this root, does not. Speakers of ancient Oscan called Italy Viteliu, also from PIE *wet. Varro wrote that the region got its name from the excellence and abundance of its cattle (italos, "bull" hence italia). Some disagree with this etymology. Compare Italus. \nFriagi or Friaz' in Old Russian: from the Byzantine appellation for the medieval Franks. \nValland (variant in Icelandic): land of "valer", (an Old Norse name for Celts, later also used for the Romanized tribes). \nWłochy (Polish) and Olaszország (Hungarian): from Gothic walh, the same root as in Valland, see details under "Wallachia" below.\n\nRome: "Roman Realm". The Roman Empire conquered a large part of the territory of the country, and the inhabitants became Romanized (Romanians). Older variants of the name include "Rumania" and (in a French-influenced spelling) "Roumania". Compare the origin of the name of the Sultanate of Rüm. \nDacia, older name and Latin variant: named after the ancient people the Dacians. \nWallachia, Slavic name for the country, from the Gothic word for Celts (walh), later also used for the Romanized tribes. This Germanic form derives from the name of the Celtic tribe of Volcae. Compare with the etymologies of the names "Wales" and "Wallonia". \n\nLondon: couldnt find\n\nCambridge: couldnt find\n\nNormandy: couldnt find\n\nYucatan: couldnt find\n\nBrazil: Named after the brazilwood tree, so-named because its reddish wood resembled the color of red-hot embers (brasil in Portuguese).

It stands either for Senatus Populsque Romae or Senatus Populusque Romanus, which mean "The Senate and People of Rome" and "The Senate and Roman People" respectively. The Romans themselves seem to have been a bit unsure about which it was.

All parts of the body are named, including parts you wouldn't even know what I was talking about if I gave you the name. "Perineum" is a Latin-based term from anatomy just as all the following terms are:\n\n"Palatoglossus" - the area of the mouth connecting the uvula and the palate.\n"Coccyx" - the "tail bone"\n"Gastrocnemius" - the calf muscle\n"Atlas and Axis" - the two uppermost cervical vertabrae\n"Olecranon fossa" - the hollow in the humerus where the ulna attaches\n"Ureter" - the tube that carries urine from the kidneys to the bladder\netc..\n\nI don't believe that the term "perineum" is actually all that well known, but if it is, then the question should be "why do most people know the proper anatomical term for the perineum but not for other parts of the body" rather than "why did someone feel compelled to name the taint area". After all, someone felt compelled to name all the areas.\n\nNow if you're asking why it was given the slang name "taint", that answer is the same as it is for all other parts of the body that we consider "taboo" to discuss: it's simply a euphemism. Rather than saying penis, vagina, rectum, and perineum, people say silly things like dingdong, weewee, a-hole, and taint. People don't use euphemisms for "back of the hand" or "vertebrae" or "biceps" because they don't find these terms embarrasing to discuss. We didn't come up with euphemisms for less commonly known terms such as the "ureter", even though they might be potentially embarrassing if they belong to the reproductive system or urinary tract (as "ureter" does), because they are not often discussed, partly due to the fact they're entirely internal. We only bother to come up with euphemisms for the "naughty bits" that we actually come into contact with on a regular basis.

If its' of Roman mythology, Juno is the Roman counterparter of Greek's Hera, keeper of the hearth.  Juno was married Jupiter, counterpartner, Zeus.(Jupiter aka Jove) Juno was associated with women and childbirth. Different members of the Roman society had temples, such as Vesta, where, in her temple, burnt the eternal flame of the Roman state. Juno was the protector of Carthage, which was destroyed, after 100 years of war. Maybe it was in Carthage.
