What are Saturn's moons named after?

Answer 1

The modern names for the moons of Saturn were suggested by John Herschel in 1847. Naming them after mythological figures associated with Saturn - the Roman god of agriculture and harvest. The then known seven satellites were named after Titans and Titanesses, brothers and sisters of Saturn. In 1848 Lassell proposed that the eighth satellite of Saturn was named Hyperion after another Titan.

When in the 20th century the names of Titans were exhausted, the moons were named after different characters of the Greco-Roman mythology or giants from other mythologies. All the irregular moons (except Phoebe) are named after Inuit and Gallic gods and after Norse ice giants.
