There are several Parthenons, actually.
The most famous is dedicated to Athene in Athens.
It's kind of like asking which government's building is called the white house.

The name of the Parthenon likely derives from the monumental cult statue of Athena Parthenos housed in the eastern room of the building.[1] This statue was sculpted in ivory and gold by Phidias. Athena's epithet parthenos refers to the goddess's unmarried and virginal status.

Athena, who was born in a most unusual way.
Her father, Zeus, had a headache (and no, her name was not Hera, his wife). I mean, he had a HUGE headache--one might even say it was Olympian.
Since he was out of aspirin and it was late and all the drugstores were closed, he went to Hephaestus, the blacksmith of the gods and told him he had a massive headache and could Hephaestus do anything for it. Hephaestus knocked him on the head with a hammer, Zeus' skull split open, and out popped Athena, fully grown and fully armed.
The name Parthenon refers to her parthenogenesis.
Oh, by the way, don't worry about Zeus. Since he was the top of the heap on Olympus, he healed himself and lived happily enough.

Athene Parthenos. The latter term refers to her "virgin birth". Zeus swallowed her mother Metis to forestall a bad prophecy. In time, he developed a terrible headache. Hepheastus split his head with an axe to relieve the pressure, and Athene leapt forth from Zeus' head fully-grown. Parthenogenesis is still virgin birth. It is theoretically possible for humans, but any child must be a girl, for a mother can only give a child X chromosomes.

Athena, Greek goddess of lots of things--wisdom, warfare, the practical arts--a very butch and capable woman. She was also the protector of Athens, which was named for her. Don't know where she lives these days.
