Okay, so first, in Marvel every Earth is simply named Earth, it's the realities themselves that have number designations, so Earth-199999 isn't our planet from the movies, it's the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe, from Earth to Asgard to the Dark Dimension and all points in between.

Second, the Spider-Verse isn't a planet nor a reality, it's an event that has taken place multiple times, to some degree or another, in various corners of the Marvel multiverse.

If you can be more specific as to which reality we're talking about, then I can describe better how it was named, but generally designations are provided explicitly by Marvel or through their Official Handbooks; meanwhile, for the specific purpose of cataloging information on our site, if no official designation has been provided, then a temporary designation may be requested and utilized until it's replaced by an official designation at a later date.
