Various other theories suggest that the name is derived from a combination of the Greek words δαίμων "daimon" ('spirit' given the Christian connotations of 'demon' in the early Middle Ages)—or, less likely δῆμος "dêmos" ("people")—and γοργός "gorgós" ("quick") or Γοργών "Gorgṓn", the Ancient Greek monsters first attested in Hesiod's "Theogony".
