Cyäegha (Cyaegha) honestly has no true meaning here; it's simply a unique word, and a rather cool one at that. 
Don't think you'll remember it? It's actually somewhat easy: C-YA-EG-HA. Cya-egha. See-yah-egg-hah. The actual pronunciation is up for debate, but this is how you can figure out how to spell the word from memory more easily. Or, you could just bookmark the site....
Cyäegha is a fictional deity in the Cthulhu Mythos and first appeared in Eddy C. Bertin's short story "Darkness, My name Is," which was written in 1976. You can look it up if you'd like, but remember that this site just uses the name and not any of the associations that might come with it otherwise.
The Cthulhu Mythos is a shared universe created in the 1920s by American horror writer H. P. Lovecraft. The term Lovecraft Mythos is preferred by some, most notably the scholar S.T. Joshi.
The term was coined by Lovecraft's associate August Derleth, and named after Cthulhu, a powerful fictional entity in Lovecraft's stories. Not a series, per se... stories, novels and other works in the Cthulhu Mythos feature elements, characters, settings, and themes found in works by Lovecraft writers. Together, these works form the mythos that authors writing in the Lovecraftian milieu have used – and continue to use – in their ongoing expansion of the fictional universe, sometimes in ways far removed from Lovecraft's original conception.
