Named after characters in the mythologies of the groups, e.g. Fenrir from Norse mythology. Initially they were all named after Titans (because Saturn is a Titan), but they ran out of Titans. As far as I can tell, the Norse names are all names of Jötunn which are to some extent a parallel to Titans in Norse mythology.
I like that the moons of Uranus are names after Shakespeare characters.
