Minerva
Owl-crowned Roman deity
Minerva was the Roman goddess of wisdom, strategic warfare, and crafts—the Roman counterpart to Greek Athena.
The name now appears for institutions, ships, and businesses wanting to evoke wisdom or classical learning.
In astronomy, Minerva is an asteroid.
As a given name, it was more common in earlier generations: Great-aunt Minerva left me her china.
