The moons of Mars were named Phobos and Deimos because they are the names of the sons of the Greek god Ares, whom the Romans called Mars. So Phobos and Deimos are the sons of Mars.

What is a natural satelite?

Technically, the moon (Luna) is the only "natural" satellite of the Earth (Terra). That is because it is the only one that was not put into orbit deliberately by sentient beings. If asteroids are retrieved from the asteroid belt and sent into orbit around the Earth (as is currently being planned by NASA), they would still not be considered "natural" sattelites. Only if a meteor is captured by the Earth's gravitational force and goes into a stable orbit (most unlikely) without having had its normal orbit altered, would it be considered "natural".
