The moon is named after [[Titan (mythology)|Titan]] [[Hyperion (mythology)|Hyperion]], the god of watchfulness and observation, and the elder brother of [[Cronus]] (the Greek equivalent of the [[Roman mythology|Roman god]] [[Saturn (mythology)|Saturn]]). It is also designated ''Saturn&nbsp;VII''. The adjectival form of the name is ''Hyperionian''.

Hyperion's discovery came shortly after [[John Herschel]] had suggested names for the seven previously known satellites of Saturn in his 1847 publication ''Results of Astronomical Observations made at the Cape of Good Hope''.<ref name="Lassell 1848 Observations" /> [[William Lassell]], who saw Hyperion two days after [[William Cranch Bond|William Bond]], had already endorsed Herschel's naming scheme and suggested the name Hyperion in accordance with it.<ref>
