In Roman mythology, Neptuno is often depicted as a powerful figure with control over the ocean and marine life.

Additionally, "neptuno" can also refer to the planet Neptune, which is the eighth and farthest known planet from the sun in the solar system. Originally discovered in 1846 through mathematical calculations, Neptune is a gas giant and is primarily composed of hydrogen and helium. It is the fourth-largest planet by diameter and is known for its distinct blue color, caused by the methane gas in its atmosphere.
In a broader context, "neptuno" can be used metaphorically or symbolically to represent anything related to the sea or water. It can evoke feelings of immense power, mystery, and vastness, similar to the ocean itself. The term can also be used in astronomy and scientific discussions to refer to the planet Neptune or its features, such as its rings or moons.
The word "Neptuno" comes from Latin "Neptūnus", which was the name of the Roman god of the sea and water, equivalent to the Greek god "Poseidon". The Latin term "Neptūnus" itself is derived from the earlier Indo-European root "*neb(h)-" meaning "damp" or "moist". The name "Neptūnus" was later adapted into various Romance languages, including Spanish, where it became "Neptuno". In Spanish, "Neptuno" refers to both the deity and the planet Neptune.
