Origins

From ōceanus (“ocean”) + Deucalēdonius (“of *Deucaledon”), with the adjective being a misspelling of Deucaliōnius /Deucaliōnēus (“of Deucalion”), in confusion with the nearby Calēdonia (“Scotland”). Deucalion was a son of Prometheus in Greek mythology who survived a flood sent by Zeus. Possibly preceded by a term such as *Ōceanus Deucaliōnius.
