Terra is the most-common alternate name for plant Earth in science fiction. As such, people from Earth as often referred to as Terrans by fellow humans (rather than the term, "Earthling").
The term is from the Roman goddess Terra. Using the term in Sci Fi places Earth on a more equivalent level to other named planets.
