Deino is also the name of one of the {{wp|Graeae}}, the three sisters in Greek mythology who shared one interchangeable eye, leaving two blind while one could see. | Deino may be a combination of ''dino'' (short for ''{{wp|dinosaur}}'') and ''ein'' (German for ''a'', and part of the German for ''one'', ''eins'').
