Here's another answer. The word comes from the very first verse in the Bible (Genesis 1:1), written in ancient Aramaic by Moses around 1500 BC after the exodus from Egypt.

1:1. בראשית ברא אלהים את השמים ואת הארץ

Transliteration:

breishith bra aleim ath eshmim uath eartz

eartz = earth

Other cultures using the word "earth" is likely the result of being influenced by the Aramaic word. Side note: If one believes God inspires the Bible, then our planet's name was given by God Almighty himself which is interesting when you consider he has a name for every star. (Isaiah 40:26)

This concludes fairy tale hour

Is the traveler’s initials JB—last name rhymes with hidin’?

I dread having a flight with a poop emergency. You already stick 100+ almost always strangers into a bus with wings for several hours. Ad to that a terrible smell of the fecal variety and it’s a nightmare.

I collect star catalogs and atlases, and that one I do not have. I'm also not finding it in the Gaia DR3 cross-reference table.

"'Earth'?! You might as well call your planet 'Dirt'!"
