Alcyone is named after the Greek goddess who was transformed into a kingfisher bird. The name means "queen who wards off evil" or "kingfisher". Latinized form of Greek Ἀλκυόνη (Alkyone), derived from the word ἀλκυών (alkyon) meaning "kingfisher". In Greek myth this name belonged to a daughter of Aeolus and the wife of Ceyx.
