It doesn't get much better trying to be serious about it > οὐρᾰνός • (ouranós) > 1. the vaulted sky 2. the region above this vault, the home of the gods 3. (philosophy) the universe 4. anything shaped like the sky: vaulted ceiling, tent looks pretty good > Etymology > Probably from an older ϝορσανός (worsanós), which may be related to οὑρέω (houréō, “to urinate”), from Proto-Indo-European h₁worseye-, from h₁wers- (“rain”) (compare Sanskrit वर्षति (varṣati, “it rains”). OK, never mind. > A folk etymology advanced by Aristotle interpreted it as ὅρος (hóros, “limit”) and ἄνω (ánō, “up”). Oh wait a second. German ur-, English or- means roughly "original", from a sense "up", found e.g. in Urteil "sentence, decision, verdict", cognate to ordeal (teil and deal from a sense part, to split), but more significantly Urahne" "ancestor" (see above ἄνω "above"), Ursuppe* "primordial soup". Latin anus, cognate Ancient Greek ἀννίς (annís) means “grandmother”, old high german ano "grandfather", so Wer- as in werewolf means "man", too. Ouranus (wonder why Greek omega is written like a w) is father of the first titans. talk about ancestors. The name is potentially so old that it's constituents have been re-analized multiple times. but yeah, really funny.
