Violet or moon of Jupiter
In Greek mythology, Io was a priestess of Hera who was transformed into a heifer. The name is also famously associated with the innermost of the four Galilean moons of the planet Jupiter. Its brevity and vowel-heavy sound make it a striking choice for parents seeking a minimalist but ancient name.
