Mythic"Land of An (the Prince)"
UBUR-AN-TIA, the planet's name
UR-AN-TIA, the planet's name = "Land of An (the Prince)"
The Connection
UR (Sumerian: foundation/earth) + AN (sky/heaven/the god Anu) + TIA (place suffix, as in Dalamatia, Croatia, Galatia). If An/Anu equals Caligastia, then Urantia literally means "Land of the Planetary Prince," and the planet's name in universe records reflects its administered status.

Historical Evidence(Moderate evidence)
Sumerian lexicography: UR/URU means "city, place of dwelling" in Sumerian/Akkadian. AN means "sky, heaven" and is the name of the sky god. The geographic cluster of UR-names (Ur, Uruk, Urmia, Urartu, Urfa, Urusalim/Jerusalem) forms a coherent linguistic pattern across the ancient Near East. The proposed compound UR-AN-TIA uses real Sumerian morphemes in a grammatically plausible way, though no academic source proposes this specific compound.
