Meaning & History
Means "adorned with prudence", or possibly "the one that surpasses them all in wisdom", derived from Greek μήδεσι (medesi), dative plural of μήδεα (medea) meaning "plans, counsel, cunning", and κέκασμαι (kekasmai) meaning "to surpass, to excel". In Greek mythology, this name belonged to two women of the Trojan royal house.
