Astronomers searching for additional planets beyond Neptune had reserved the name "Xena" for the "warrior princess" of the 1990's TV show. When they discovered a planet larger than Pluto, they assigned that as a provisional name.
After the IAU demoted Pluto from "planet" to "dwarf planet", the object tentatively named "Xena" received a permanent name of "Eris".
Eris is believed to have one moon.
