Demogorgon

English Etymology en grc, most likely actually invented by a Christian scholar c. 350–400 The origins of the name are uncertain, partly because the figure itself was possibly of imaginary coinage. Various theories suggest that the name is derived from the Greek words en daemon spirit given the Christian connotations of “demon” in the early Middle Ages—or, less likely en demos people—and Gorgon or grc γοργός grim. A less accepted theory claims that it is derived from a variation of “demiurge”.
