Why is the planet Vulcan called Vulcan?
So apparently there's this whole thing in Discovery where the planet is now called Ni'Var, but shockingly I don't care in the slightest. Today I learned that during production of TOS they were considering "Vulcanis." I did know about the sporadic use of "Vulcanian" to reference a resident of the planet. I've known about the star being called 40 Eridani A for a long time. Granted, it does seem silly to use a name from Earth mythology for such a prominent planet. And why Vulcan, a god of war?
