To my knowledge, Oberon was named after Oberon, the king of elfs.

The information provided in the literature on Oberon contradicts this claim. Furthermore, the moon is depicted on the covers of some books about it.
Worth mentioning here that some moons of Uranus are named after Shakespeare characters - the moon is named after Shakespeare's depiction of Oberon in A Midsummer Night's Dream.
