LOL Andromeda (emphasis on ME) IS a Greek name. She became Perseus' wife after he saved her from a sea monster sent by Poseidon to kill her. And Helius (spelled Heleus in ME) is the greek word for Sun (Ilios). Ilios is Greek also Yah.......I just said that.

The game could be titled:
Mass Effect: A Leap of Faith
But then 'Initiative' wouldn't fit.

If we named the original trilogy after how/where we spend most of our time;
ME1 = MEAT = Mass Effect: Attican Traverse ME2 = METS = Mass Effect: Terminus Systems ME3 = MERA = Mass Effect: Running Away

I am joining the folks who also think that they can't do it, because the acronym would spell MEH.

Bioware doesn't want their game abbreviated to MEH I wish I was observant enough plus quick enough to make this joke.

Mass Effect: Heleus? That would already be much better. Can you imagine the confusion if the game had Heleus written everywhere in it while the title screen said Helius? I also believe some people haven't realized that Heleus is the youngest son of Perseus and Andromeda in Greek mythology...

Would you prefer: "Mass Effect: 2,5 mln light years away"? I think Mass Effect: Andromeda has better tone to it afterall.

Actually 'Heli os' would be the correct Greek spelling. -us is Latin, except the word helius doesn't exist in Latin. I've been wondering about the weird spelling as well...

If you look at this from the Latin point of view it gets strange: Solar is English for Sol which is the latin for: "The Sun" Andromédē is latin for Andromeda and means "Ruler of Men"
The English word Helius does not exist in Latin however Heliu does and it means omiserunt which derives to omitto which means basically to "Ignore/Release/Surrender/Let go"
As to ME:A being called MEH...... MEH the H looks like an 8 MEA the A looks more like a 4 I think symbol wise the A fits better:
I know it has been said it is not but I will still refer to it as such: ME4 better mathematically symbol-wise to be MEA since it closer resembles ME4.
But nevertheless to each their own.

The game takes place in the Helius cluster only, so , why "Andromeda" ? (that cluster is in andromeda galaxy yes, but that galaxy is in the universe and the game is not called: mass ffect: universe only because it takes place in a galaxy inside an universe) anyway, maybe we explore other star clusters in dlc's? or sequels? there is more than enough "place" for more content, so many space to explore and new adventures Because of marketing reasons, the word Andromeda is recognized but most people don't know what Helius is...

Helius sound like Greek relate. Andromeda's not, Most people know this is Galaxy or space relate. (which is right) Agreed I think they've chosen the right name as most people will have heqard about the Andromeda galaxy either through sci fi shows or whatever even I had before I got into ME and all that.I had neverheard of the Helios cluster before all the MEA stuff started coming out so that would never have rung a bell to me,. So for me they've chosen the right name.

Ah. So I take it Helius is the Latin spelling for Heleus then? In all my years of translating Greek & Latin I've never seen it spelled as Helius. Latin dictionary doesn't list it either.

No idea about the Latin spelling, although wikipedia list Helius as an alternative (and says to not confuse with Helios). BioWare use Heleus in the briefing videos and lore on the official website.
