The practice was to name newly discovered moons of Jupiter after lovers and favorites of the god Jupiter (Zeus) and, since 2004, also after their descendants.[35] All of Jupiter’s satellites from XXXIV (Euporie) onward are named after daughters of Jupiter or Zeus,[35] except LIII (Dia), named after a lover of Jupiter, and LXII (Valetudo), named after a great-granddaughter of Jupiter. Names ending with “a” or “o” are used for prograde irregular satellites (the latter for highly inclined satellites), and names ending with “e” are used for retrograde irregulars.[36] The most recently confirmed moons Jupiter LI through LXXII (with the exception of Jupiter LIII Dia and Jupiter LXII Valetudo) have not received names.
