There are many Greek goddesses, but some of the most well-known include Athena (goddess of wisdom and warfare), Aphrodite (goddess of love and beauty), Artemis (goddess of the hunt and the moon), Hera (queen of the gods and goddess of marriage), Demeter (goddess of agriculture), and Persephone (goddess of the underworld and spring). Other notable goddesses include Hestia (goddess of the hearth), Nike (goddess of victory), and Eris (goddess of discord). Each goddess has her own unique attributes and mythology.
You could call then deities, celestial beings, godheads, supreme beings, creators, idols, immortals, divine beings, etc. Most Greek and Roman deities are extremely similar, they are just called different names.

In this case, since the Greek name fit the naming conventions of Roman names, they simply kept it.
