Pronunciation: Classical Greek /an.dro.mé.daː/; American English /æn.ˈdɹɑ.mɪ.də/; British English /æn.ˈdɹɒ.mɪ.də/.
Meaning and history
This name is derived from Greek ἀνήρ ( aner ) meaning "man" (genitive ἀνδρός ) combined with one of the related words μέδομαι ( medomai ) meaning "to be mindful of, to provide for, to think on" or μέδω ( medo ) meaning "to protect, to rule over". In Greek mythology Andromeda was an Ethiopian princess rescued from sacrifice by the hero Perseus. A constellation in the northern sky is named for her. This is also the name of a nearby galaxy, given because it resides (from our point of view) within the constellation.
