Deino may be a combination of ''dino'' (informal name for ''dinosaur'') and ''ein'' (German for ''a'', and part of the German for one, ''eins''). It may also derive from δεινός ''deinos'' (Ancient Greek for ''terrible''). It may also refer to dinosaurs such as the ''{{wp|Deinosuchus}}'' and ''{{wp|Deinonychus}}''. Deino was also the name of one of the {{wp|Graeae}} who, in Greek mythology, were three sisters who only had one eye between them, meaning that while one had the eye, the other two would be blind. | Deino may be a combination of ''dino'' (informal name for ''dinosaur'') and ''ein'' (German for ''a'', and part of the German for one, ''eins'').
