EponymUrsula, from Much Ado About Nothing

Ursula is the second-largest impact crater known on Uranus's moon Titania. It is about 135 km across, and is cut by Belmont Chasma.[1] It is named after Hero's attendant in William Shakespeare's comedy Much Ado About Nothing; the name Ursula was officially adopted by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) in 1988.[1][a]
