Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

V českej onomastickej príručke Miloslavy Knappovej je Meda doložená ako variant mena Medea. Pri tomto výklade pochádza z gréckeho Médeia, tradične spájaného so slovesom mēdomai, teda premýšľať, zvažovať či plánovať. Tento výklad sa vzťahuje na variant mena Medea, nie automaticky na všetky rovnaké mená v rozličných jazykoch.

Sources and scholarly methodology: Vzťah Meda – Medea potvrdzuje ÚJČ AV ČR, odpoveď č. 1307, odkazujúca na príručku M. Knappovej. Tradičný grécky výklad uvádza Etymonline: Medea. Skloňovanie je aplikáciou vzoru žena podľa Morfológie slovenského jazyka, s. 101. Konkrétne heslo v publikácii Milana Majtána nebolo priamo overené. Zdrobneniny sú slovotvorne možné rodinné podoby, nie doložený rebríček obľúbenosti. Medzinárodné podoby označujú zachovanie mena Meda bez prekladu, nie overené tradičné ekvivalenty vo všetkých uvedených jazykoch.
