How and when did the world adopt the word “Earth” for our planet?
Firstly, I assume that such adoption has taken place, and isn’t just an Anglophone convention. But I’m curious about when the world moved towards this common word. I imagine that every country and culture has its own creation myths and related names for the world. When did that convergence on “Earth” occur, how did it happen, and are there any curious stories to relate?
