Pachomios is Greek in Origin.

Pachomios is the Greek form of a Coptic‑Egyptian name borne by Saint Pachomius the Great, founder of communal Christian monasticism in the 4th century. The form Παχώμιος entered Greek from Coptic Pakhom (ⲡⲁϧⲱⲙ), probably deriving from Ancient Egyptian and glossed “eagle” or “falcon.” Through ecclesiastical Latin it appears as Pachomius; in Coptic and Arabic church usage it is also rendered Bakhomious.

Use of the name has concentrated in Eastern Christian traditions - Greek and Coptic Orthodox, and Slavic churches - where it marks monastic devotion and has feast‑day recognition (commonly 9 or 15 May). Variants include Greek Pachomios, Latin Pachomius, French Pachôme, Spanish/Italian Pacomio, Portuguese Pacômio, Romanian Pahomie, Bulgarian/Serbian Pahomiy/Pahomije, Ukrainian Pakhomii, and Russian Pakhom/Pakhomiy (source of the surname Pakhomov). While rare in the West as a given name, it remains familiar in ecclesiastical contexts and regional calendars.
