dîos ‎mêdos / Mídomai > Diomḗdēs
Meaning:*
This name derives from the Ancient Greek “Diomḗdēs ‎(Διομήδης),” composed of two elements: “dîos ‎(δῖος)” (heavenly, divine, noble) plus “mêdos ‎(μῆδος) Mídomai (μήδομαι)” (counsel, plan, art, prudence, cunning). In turn, the name means “God-like cunning, advised by Zeus.” Diomedes is a hero in Greek mythology, known for his participation in the Trojan War. He was born to Tydeus and Deipyle and later became King of Argos, succeeding in his maternal grandfather, Adrastus. In Virgil’s Aeneid, he is one of the warriors who entered the Trojan horse shortly before the sack of Troy.
