Jupiter Meaning

From Latin Iuppiter, which was ultimately derived from the Indo-European * Dyeu-pater, composed of the elements Dyeus (see Zeus) and pater "father". Jupiter was the supreme god in Roman mythology. He presided over the heavens and light, and was responsible for the protection and laws of the Roman state. This is also the name of the fifth and largest planet in the solar system. Jupiter is the king of gods in Roman mythology. The name Jupiter is the English derivative of the Roman or Latin name "Iupiter" and "Jove", which were names of supreme gods in Roman mythology, equal to Zeus in Greek mythology. The name is derived from the Indo European deity, "Dyeus pater", which means "Of father God".
