Perseus Meaning

Possibly derived from Greek περθω (pertho) meaning "to destroy". Perseus was a hero in Greek legend. He killed Medusa, who was so ugly that anyone who gazed upon her was turned to stone, by looking at her in the reflection of his shield and slaying her in her sleep. Perseus is an English name with Old Greek origins and it means "destroyer".
