In embryological development, the gonads (ovaries and testes) start above the pelvis in the abdomen. This is where their blood supply starts. As they develop and descend into the pelvis, they bring this artery down with them. Other arteries in the pelvis that do not branch from the iliac arteries are the median sacral artery (a branch from the abdominal aorta) and superior rectal artery (a branch from inferior mesenteric artery).
