Meaning & History

Latinized form of the Greek Κητώ (Kētō), which meant "sea-monster" (supposedly the source of the word κῆτος (kētos) "any sea-monster or huge fish; sometimes the whale, but often the tunny-fish"). In Greek mythology Ceto was the personification of the dangers of the sea, a daughter of Pontos (Sea) and Gaia (Earth) and mother of the Gorgons and other ugly monsters, including Scylla and Echidna.
