Meaning & History
Latinized form of Greek Κηδαλίων (Kedalion), of which the meaning is not entirely certain. It could have been derived from Greek κηδαλιζω (kedalizô) meaning "purifying, cleansing". However, it could also have been derived from Greek κηδεύω (kēdeuō) meaning "to take charge (of), to care for, to tend (to)". In Greek mythology, Cedalion was a daemon attendant of the god Hephaestus at his forge on the island of Lemnos.
