The original names were puns themselves, Selene the goddess of the moon was in love with Endymion, a man from earth, and changing the prince and princesses names to the ones they received when they were reincarnated takes away the mystery.
He thus names the moon Angela and praises the moon as the fertility goddess.

The name Ceres is derived from the roman name of the Greek goddess Demeter, who was worshipped in ancient Greek as the mother of the earth and the goddess of fertility.
The name Easter is believed to derive from the Teutonic goddess, Eastre, the goddess of spring and fertility.
The name Esther is either taken from the Persian word for "star" or from the name of the Babylonian goddess Ishtar.

The English name Easter is of uncertain origin; the Anglo-Saxon priest Venerable Bede in the 8th century derived it from the Anglo-Saxon spring goddess Eostre.
The Name "Easter" is usually attributed to Eostre (also spelled Eastre), the great mother Goddess of the Saxon people in Northern Europe.
The name and word Easter comes from that of the Anglo-Saxon goddess Eostre.

Maybe the Roman name should be understood as "heirs" and then understood as heirs of the goddess Eostre or generally Mother Earth.
The names of the Goddess/God aspect in which we pray to becomes symbolic to the nature of what we are praying for.
