"Father of the sky, chief god"

From Latin

Jupiter means father sky — from the Latin Iu (sky/day) and piter (father). Jupiter is the king of the Roman gods and the largest planet in the solar system — big enough to contain all other planets combined. Mozart's Jupiter Symphony is one of the most perfect pieces of music. Three syllables of cosmic kingship, planetary enormity, and divine fatherhood.
