Andromeda

US Popularity Rank: 4304

Origin: Greek

Meaning: Leader of humankind

If you are searching for a unique name to represent your near-mythological love for baby, we have a celestial suggestion! The Greek girl’s name, Andromeda, means “leader of humankind.” Andromeda was the daughter of Cepheus and Cassiopeia and was known for her outstanding beauty. Because her mother’s hubristic claims about her beauty insulted Poseidon, he sent a sea creature to kill Andromeda. Luckily, she was saved by Perseus, and they soon got married. This goddess can also be found in the Northern Sky as a constellation in the Andromeda Galaxy, which is one of the few galaxies that can be seen with the unaided eye. Whether you want to remind baby that they should always reach for the stars or teach them to be a fierce leader, Andromeda will serve them well. Plus, Andromeda by Weyes Blood is a lovely lullaby to sing your little star to sleep.
