The answer is Ceres, named after the Roman goddess of agriculture(the Greek equivalent of Ceres is Demeter).

Haumea was named after the Hawaiian goddess of childbirth, Titania was named after a character in Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream," and Ariel was named after two characters in literature.
