From Greek
Γανυμηδης (Ganymedes), which was possibly derived from
γανυμαι (ganymai) "to be glad" and
μηδομαι (medomai) "to think, to plan". In Greek mythology this was the name of a beautiful boy who was abducted by
Zeus to become the cupbearer to the gods, the successor of
Hebe. A moon of Jupiter is named after him.
