Naiad (nye'-É™d [UK, US] or nay'-É™d [US], , Greek Îαϊάδ-ες), or Neptune III, is the innermost satellite of Neptune named after the Naiads of Greek legend.
In Greek mythology, the Naiads (from the Greek νάειν, "to flow," and νἃμα, "running water") were a type of nymph who presided over fountains, wells, springs, streams, and brooks, as river gods embodied rivers, and some very ancient spirits inhabited the still waters of marshes, ponds and lagoon-lakes, such as pre-Mycenaean Lerna in the Argolid. Naiads were associated with fresh water, as the Oceanids were with saltwater and the Nereids specifically with the Mediterranean; but because the Greeks thought of the world's waters as all one system, which percolated in from the sea in deep cavernous spaces within the bosom of the earth, to rise freshened in seeps and springs, there was some overlap. Arethusa, the nymph of a spring, could make her way through subterranean flows from the Peloponnesus, to surface on the island of Sicily.
Naiads are water spirits that live in the fresh water places of Narnia. They are most commonly found in the Great River of Narnia. They are human-like in a appearance but have hair that flows like water and crowned with rushes, skin in shades of blue, grey, and green.They are usually naked when in their waters but are clothed when venturing about land.
