r/NoStupidQuestions on Reddit: What is outer space called in other languages, and do those words have multiple meanings?
April 9, 2024 -
I was thinking about space today and thinking about the other meanings of the word "space" in English, and how the word became the name for the vast abyss beyond our planet. What word/s are there are for space in other languages, and do they have similar multiple meanings, or are they are single purpose name type words? I hope the question makes sense!

In German it's Weltraum (literally "world space\room") but in compound words it's usually shortened to just Raum like Raumfahrt (spaceflight) or Raumschiff (spacecraft). EDIT: I just remembered there's also the term All or Weltall. It has the same root as the English "all". Occasionally Kosmos is used as well.

Norwegian: Verdensrom ("world space") although simply "rom" or even "ytre rom" (yes, "outer space"). Rom also means "room". "Space" in the meaning " " is "mellomrom" which is "in-between space". Russian uses a word that's just "cosmos" spelled with Russian letters, and that word only has that meaning (okay, there used to be a cigarette brand with that name). Dutch uses "ruimte" which matches the word space in both the general meaning as well as the outer space meaning, but a typographical space is called "spatie".

In Turkish we call it "samanyolu" which means "Hay Road", it comes from an old Persian legend that in time the Turkish language adopted and "localised" it.

Linnunrata (the pathway of the birds). Birds use it to fly to Lintukoto (the home of the birds) where is always warm and no worries... Except that tiny people (they are tiny because sky is so low at the edge of the world they don't have more room to grow) live there too and they wage war with the birds every winter.

Maybe you could use Spatium Sidereale? Spaceships seem to be Naves Sidereales, so it would make sense. It basically means "Starry Space". In Portuguese we use the expression Espaço Sideral so there is a precedent in romance languages.
The Morgan And Silva Furman University Lexicon states this:
space inane infinitum (Eg. D.L. 46), inane spatium cosmicum (Eg. S.L. 63), spatium cosmicum (Eg. S.L. 81), spatium infinitum (Eg. S.L. 81)

Sperae secundum fratrem J. de Pech'm
The Spheres according to brother John Pecham
This is the title of a one-page summary in BL Arundel 83 f123r There is no direct link; use the page list to get from f117 to f123v. Picture of Spheres.
Pecham draws heavily on Cicero's 'Dream of Scipio.' where the the planets each inhabit their own orbs or rather globus
Novem tibi orbibus vel potius globis connexa sunt omnia, quorum unus est caelestis, extimus, qui reliquos omnes complectitur, summus ipse deus, arcens et continens ceteros, in quo sunt infixi illi qui volvuntur stellarum cursus sempitemi.
Cicero elsewhere calls them sphaerae
habent suam sphaeram stellae inerrantes. L&S
Cicero's astronomy was developed from Plato's Timaeus. Perhaps the spheres come from Babylon via Egypt along with the character of the Seven errantes.
In any case I suggest Sphaerae (1st f. pl.) as a general term covering all the regions between Earth and Empyreon, which is beyond the outer stars.
