What is the meaning of the name Pallass ?

The baby name Pallass is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈpæləs/ (PAL-uhs).

Pallass is Greek in Origin.

From Greek Pállas (Πάλλας), an epithet of Athena and a male personal name, the root is often linked to pallō, “to brandish (a spear),” yielding the sense “wielder” or “spear-brandisher.” Some classical commentators also connected it with “youth” or “maiden,” so the meaning spans martial prowess and youthful vitality.

Pallass is a modern, stylistic respelling of Pallas. In antiquity, Pallas named the Titan associated with warcraft and, in Virgil, the noble youth allied with Aeneas. As an epithet of Athena (Pallas Athena), it evokes wisdom, strategy, and craft. Revived among classicists in the Renaissance and sporadically in the Anglophone world in the 19th–20th centuries, the name remains rare and reads unisex. Variants include Pallas (standard), Palas (Spanish and other Romance contexts for Palas Atenea), Pallada (Slavic/Russian feminine), and Pallás/Pállas as transliterations. Nicknames might be Pal, Palla, or Lass.
