Athena is the patron goddess of Athens. Athena and Poseidon had a contest to see who gets the city named after them. Poseidon gave a salt water spring while Athena planted olive trees. To the gods or the people of Athens, depending on which version you're reading, they voted Athena's gift better. This is why Athens has its name.
