Geryon Name meanings & History
The name Geryon is derived from the Greek word 'geras' which means age or old age. In Greek mythology, Geryon was a giant with three heads and three bodies who was killed by the hero Heracles. In Ancient Greek Mythology he is son of Chrysaor and Callirrhoe and grandson of Medusa. Geryon was a fearsome giant who dwelt on the island Erytheia of the mythic Hesperides in the far west of the Mediterranean. A more literal-minded later generation of Greeks associated the region with Tartessos in southern Iberia. Geryon was often described as a monster with human faces. The name Geryon is primarily used in reference to the figure from Greek mythology. It may also be used as a unique and unusual name for a baby boy.
