Oberon

Ruler of fairies

Oberon is the king of the fairies in medieval and Renaissance literature, most famously in Shakespeare's *A Midsummer Night's Dream*, where he quarrels with his queen Titania over a changeling boy.

The name appears in astronomy for a moon of Uranus and in computing for a programming language and operating system.
