      The name Eridian finds its roots in ancient Greek mythology, derived from the Greek word Eris, meaning strife or discord. In Greek mythology, Eris was the goddess of chaos and discord, often depicted as a troublemaker who brought about quarrels and conflicts among gods and mortals alike. It is from this intriguing mythological background that the name Eridian takes on its significance as Of the planet Eris.

      Throughout history, the name Eridian has seen limited usage, primarily as a fictional or creative name associated with science fiction or fantasy literature.

Its association with the enigmatic planet Eris grants the name an air of mystery and uniqueness, appealing to those seeking names that stand out from the commonplace.
