📖 About Panos
Panos is a beloved Greek masculine name, a colloquial short form of Panagiotis, which derives from the Greek words 'pan' (all) and 'hagios' (holy, sacred) — essentially meaning 'All Holy' and serving as an epithet for the Virgin Mary (Panagia). The name carries deep Orthodox Christian tradition and is especially common in Greece and the Greek diaspora. It embodies the reverence for the sacred feminine in Greek Orthodoxy while functioning as an everyday, warm, and approachable masculine nickname. Panos has remained a consistent favourite across generations in Greece, often given to boys to honour religious tradition while remaining friendly and easy to pronounce.
