The Greek goddess Athena is believed to have derived her name from the city of Athens, which was named in her honor. According to mythology, she won a contest against Poseidon for the patronage of the city by offering the gift of the olive tree, symbolizing peace and prosperity. The name "Athena" itself is thought to be linked to the ancient word for "knowledge" or "wisdom," reflecting her role as the goddess of wisdom, warfare, and strategy.
