Additional information:
The transliteration of 3772 is
Ouranos.

"Uranus, also known as Ouranos, was the embodiment of the sky or heavens, and known as the god of the sky."
http://www.pantheon.org/articles/u/uranus.html

"In Greek mythology, Ouranos represented the sky or heaven."

"In the Old Testament, the English word ‘heaven’ is translated almost exclusively from two different words. The Hebrew word 'shamayim' which is defined as ‘the sky', the place where the clouds and stars are, or 'shamayin', the Aramaic word of the same definition. In the Old Testament, the English word ‘heaven’ is translated from other words only five times in the following verses:
Psalms 68:4 it is translated from the Hebrew, arabah, ‘ the desert ‘
Psalms 77:18 the word is galgal, Hebrew for ‘ wheel or whirlwind '
Psalms 89:6 & 37 where it is translated from the word shachaq, Hebrew for ‘ powder or thin vapor ’.
Isaiah 5:30 the English word 'heaven' is translated from ariyph, Hebrew for ‘ the sky ‘

The New Testament defines ‘heaven’ from the Greek word ‘ouranos’ meaning ‘the sky’ in all but 7 instances :
Philippians 2:10 Greek epouranos, ‘ above the sky, celestial ‘
Revelation 8:13, 14:6, 19:1, 11, 14, and 17 from the Greek word mesouranema, meaning mid-sky."
