Eostre (also known by the names Ostara and Eastre) is the German Goddess of Spring. According to one online source "She gave Her name to the Christian festival of Easter (which is an older Pagan festival appropriated by the Church)...."

Pretty sure she didn't give her name away. I think she wanted royalties for fair use and the church said no and burned her at the stake for asking.
