The moon of Jupiter called Io was named after Io, a priestess of Hera who became one of the lovers of Zeus.
Wikipedia says:
In Greek mythology, Io (pronounced /ˈaɪ.oʊ/ EYE-oh or /ˈiː.oʊ/, in Ancient Greek Ἰώ[iːɔ́ː]) was a priestess of Hera in Argos who was seduced by Zeus, who changed her into a heifer to escape detection. Her mistress, Hera, set ever-watchful Argus Panoptes to guard her, but Hermes was sent to distract the guardian and slay him. Heifer Io was loosed to roam the world, stung by a maddening gadfly sent by Hera, and wandered to Egypt.
