Athena is the ruler of ancient city-state Athens. It's only one of her achievements.

Poseidon and Athena both wanted a city. They decided to give a gift ( one each ) and the people will select the one they want. Poseidon gave a spring of salt water. Athena gave a olive tree, which gave wood, oil and olives. The people chose Athena's gift and she named the city Athens, a mix of her name.
