Medusa Name meanings & History
In Greek mythology, Medusa was a monster with snakes for hair who could turn people into stone with her gaze. As a baby name, Medusa may symbolize strength, power, and femininity. From the Greek Μέδουσα (Medousa), which was derived from μέδω (medo) meaning "to protect, to rule over". In Greek myth this was the name of one of the three Gorgons, ugly women who had snakes for hair. She was so hideous that anyone who gazed upon her was turned to stone, so the hero Perseus had to look using the reflection in his shield in order to slay her. Medusa is a rarely used name and may not be suitable for everyone. It is more commonly used in literary or artistic contexts.
