What name did William Herschel originally propose for Uranus?

Following his discovery of the planet in 1781, William Herschel originally proposed the name Georgium Sidus (Latin for "Georgian Star") to honor his patron, King George III of England.12

While Herschel and some of his contemporaries also referred to the object as the "Georgian Planet," the name was not widely accepted by the international astronomical community. The name Uranus—proposed by the German astronomer Johann Elert Bode in 1783—eventually became the standard, adhering to the tradition of naming planets after figures from Greek and Roman mythology.12
