Cleochareia

In Greek mythology, Cleochareia (or Kleokhareia) was a naiad, a river nymph. She was married to King Lelex of Laconia. She is the ancestress of the Spartan royal family and gave birth to two children: Myles and Polycaon. Her son, Myles, had a son named Eurotas (presumably named after his great grandfather). Eurotas had a daughter named Sparta, who married Lacedaemon. Lacedaemon named the city of Sparta after his wife. However, the city's name would also be his own, as it was called either Lacedaemon or Sparta interchangeably.
