Pandora's Box

In Greek mythology, Pandora ("all gifted") was the first woman, fashioned by Zeus as part of the punishment of mankind for Prometheus' theft of the secret of fire. To punish mankind, Zeus ordered the other gods to make Pandora as a poisoned gift for man. Pandora was given several traits from the different gods:

Hephaestus molded her out of clay and gave her form
Athena clothed her and adorned her with necklaces made by Hephaestus as well as taught her manual dexterity and how to spin
Aphrodite gave her beauty
Apollo gave her musical talent and a gift for healing
Demeter taught her to tend a garden
Poseidon gave her a pearl necklace and the ability to never drown
Zeus made her idle, mischievous, and foolish
Hera gave her curiosity
Hermes, along with giving her cunning, boldness and charm, then gave Pandora a box.

The name Pandora, thus, derives from the fact she's received gifts from all deities: "all gifts".
