Pantaleimon is Greek in Origin.

Pantaleimon is a masculine given name from Greek Παντελεήμων, composed of pan- “all” and eleēmōn “merciful, compassionate,” thus “all-compassionate.” It spread through the Byzantine world with the cult of Saint Pantaleimon/Pantaleon, a 4th‑century physician-martyr numbered among the Holy Unmercenaries and invoked for healing.

The name remained popular in Eastern Orthodoxy - seen in Greek Panteleímon/Pantelímon, the short form Pantelís, and East Slavic Panteleimon (Пантелеимон) and Panteley/Pantelei. Western and Romance forms include Pantaleon/Pantaléon (French), Pantaleón (Spanish), Pantaleão (Portuguese), Pantaleone (Italian), and Romanian Pantelimon (also a toponym). Usage in the West peaked in the Middle Ages, reflected in dedications such as St. Pantaleon’s in Cologne; today it is rare outside ecclesiastical or culturally Greek and Slavic contexts. Related surnames (e.g., Pantaleone, Pantaleoni) derive from the given name. Meaning-centered associations emphasize mercy, healing, and compassion.

Pantaleimon is absent from every birth registry and name dataset we follow. That usually points to a very rare, regional, or newly coined name. Whatever the reason, hardly anyone else has it.
