Pano as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Pano

What is the meaning of the name Pano ?

The baby name Pano is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced PAH-no (English: /ˈpɑːnoʊ/; Greek: /ˈpano/).

Pano is Greek in Origin.

Pano is a Greek male name, used chiefly as a short form of Panagiotis, itself derived from Panagia, the title “All-Holy” for the Virgin Mary. The ultimate elements are pan (“all”) + hagios (“holy”), so the name carries the sense of “all‑holy,” “of the All‑Holy,” or “dedicated to the Virgin.” Although πάνω (páno) means “above” in modern Greek, the given name Pano is etymologically tied to Panagiotis rather than that adverb.

In Greek and wider Balkan Orthodox traditions, forms of this name have been popular for centuries, with a name day on August 15 (Dormition of the Theotokos). Variants and related forms include Panagiotis (Panayiotis/Panayotis), Panos, Yiotis/Giotis, and the feminine Panagiota (Panayiota/Panayota). Regional cognates appear as Panajot (Albanian, Macedonian), Panayot (Bulgarian), and Panayot/Panayote in older transliterations. Pano occurs as an independent given name in the Greek diaspora.
