What is the meaning of the name Panos ?

The baby name Panos is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced PAH-nos (IPA: /ˈpanos/).

Panos is Greek in Origin.

Panos is a modern Greek given name (Πάνος), primarily a familiar short form of Panagiotis (Παναγιώτης). The root combines pan- “all” with hagios “holy,” yielding the meaning “all-holy,” a direct reference to Panagia, the Virgin Mary in Greek Orthodoxy. While often a nickname, Panos is now widely used as an independent name in Greece and Cyprus, appreciated for its brisk, contemporary sound while retaining strong religious resonance.

Usage grew alongside veneration of the Panagia from Byzantine times onward, and the name celebrates its name day on August 15 (Dormition of the Theotokos). Formal and regional variants include Panagiotis, Panayiotis, and Panayiotes; related forms in neighboring languages are Panayot/Panajot (Bulgarian/Serbian) and Panait (Romanian). Feminine counterparts are Panagiota/Panayiota, with short forms like Nota. Additional diminutives from Panagiotis include Panagis, Giotis, and Notis, though Panos remains the most internationally recognized.
