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 and other prehistoric animals such as the ''{{wp|Deinosuchus}}'' and ''{{wp|Deinonychus}}''. Deino was also the name of one of the {{wp|Graeae}}, the three sisters in Greek mythology who only had one eye between them, meaning that only one of them could see at a time. | Deino may be a combination of ''dino'' (informal name for ''dinosaur'') and ''ein'' (German for ''a'', and part of the German for one, ''eins'').
