    Want More? The Moon's Latinized name is Luna. If you are "of the Moon” youre simply “Lunar”. Lunatics are something else..

        @neiltyson Jupiter is the weirdest one. From Jupiter to Jovian is quite a linguistical journey.

        @02CRMBL @neiltyson Jupiter's also known as Jove (though I don't remember why) and that's also where we get jovial.

        @neiltyson Well, I don't know in English, but in Portuguese 'Lunático' is one with periods of insanity, related to the moon phases.
