All of Uranus’s moons are named after characters created byWilliam Shakespeare orAlexander Pope. The names of all four satellites of Uranus then known were suggested byJohn Herschel in 1852 at the request ofWilliam Lassell, though it is uncertain if Herschel devised the names, or if Lassell did so and then sought Herschel’s permission. Umbriel is the “dusky melancholy sprite” in Pope’sThe Rape of the Lock, and the name suggests theLatinumbra(“shadow”); the ending matchesAriel, name of another character.
