whom

I know we use "who" for subject and "whom" for object, but I can't tell which is correct in this sentence, or if I should even use "who" or "whom."
Ideas, opinions?

a)
Makhu is also the name of the infamous demigod, from who the title of the poem was initially derived.
b)
Makhu is also the name of the infamous demigod, from whom the title of the poem was initially derived.

Thanks.
