If you haven't already found an answer, here's mine:
Poly-Πολυ meaning "Many"
Deukes-δεύκης meaning "Sweets"
So the name of this Gemini twin literally means "many sweets." His brother's name is Kastor, which means "beaver" in Greek. There is no evidence as to why one brother was given a lovely name and the other was called a beaver. Maybe Kastor liked to chew on things as a baby!
