What does the name 'Medusa' mean?

Medusa is not a Latin name; it is Greek and it's meaning is "queen" or "guardian".

Medusa is her real name.

There is no Roman meaning to Medusa's name, her name in Greek means "queen".

Medusa doesn't mean anything she is a woman who has snakes as hair and is said to curse any one who looks into her eyes by turning them into stone. Medusa's name in Greek means guardian or protectress. But when someone calls another person a medusa, that is an insult similar to calling someone an evil person. Another answer Robert Graves, in the Greek Myths, gives the etymology of Medusa to mean cunning.

Medusa is one of the three Gorgons. Medusa is already her real name.

1 - Medusa is her name, not a species. She was a gorgon.

Romans used the name Medusa, Greeks used Medousa or Medouse: a name meaning "guardian" or "queen".

The name 'Medusa' would be appropriate for a type of cement, because Medusa, in Greek mythology, had the ability to turn people into stone if they looked her in the eyes. I suppose that stone is similar to cement, making it an appropriate name.

Medusa is the Latin/Roman equivalent to the Greek Medousa.

In book 11 of the Odyssey The Gorgon is mentioned, not the name of Medusa.

Medusa did not have a last name.

Medusa had no middle name.

medusa turned people into stone so yeah...

Athena the Greek goddess was a virgin goddess, she did not have a daughter named Medusa. Medusa was daughter of Keto and Phorcys or Gorgo.

Medusa was slain by Perseus according to most Greek mythologies.
