Xena and Gabrielle were Xena : Warrior Princesscharacters played by Lucy Lawless and Renée O'Connor. These names were not adopted by the International Astronomical Union for the dwarf planet "2003UB313" and its moon. In August, 2006, the IAU chose "Eris" (Grek goddess of discord) and "Dysnomia" (Greek for 'lawlessness') as the names of the objects. The objects were photographed in 2003 and identified as solar-system objects in January, 2005. During the period between discovery and naming, the Palomar Observatory team (Mike Brown, Chad Trujillo, and David Rabinowitz) had used the TV names as interim designations for the faraway planetoids.

Does Xena the dwarf planet have any moons?

Astronomers searching for additional planets beyond Neptune had reserved the name "Xena" for the "warrior princess" of the 1990's TV show. When they discovered a planet larger than Pluto, they assigned that as a provisional name. After the IAU demoted Pluto from "planet" to "dwarf planet", the object tentatively named "Xena" received a permanent name of "Eris". Eris is believed to have one moon.
