Medusa

The meaning of Medusa is ‘guardian’ or ‘rule over’. It is a name typically given to girls and is of Greek origin. It comes from the word ‘médousa’ which means ‘to rule over.’ The name is well-known due to its importance in Greek mythology. In Greek mythology, Medusa is the name of a Gorgon or a monster figure. According to legend, Medusa was a beautiful woman who was cursed by Athena after having an illicit relationship with Poseidon in Athená's temple. Athena's spell turned her hair into venomous serpents and gave her the power to transform anyone who looked at her into stone. Perseus, the demi-God son of Zeus, killed her and used her head as a weapon in combat, and later gave Medusa's decapitated head to Athena. Before the curse, Medusa was once believed to be a stunning woman with enticing locks. As a consequence, the name Medusa has become synonymous with the ability to ‘captivate'. Many people are unaware that the Versace logo is a representation of Medusa.
