Panthea is Greek in Origin.

Panthea is a feminine given name from Ancient Greek Pantheia (Πανθεία) or Panthea (Πανθέα), built from pan- “all” and thea “goddess, divinity,” yielding senses such as “all-divine” or “of all the gods.” The Latinized spelling Panthea predominated in classical and later European texts.

The name surfaces in Xenophon’s Cyropaedia, borne by the admired Susa noblewoman, a paragon of loyalty; it later reappeared in Greco‑Roman anecdote collections and was revived by early modern and Romantic writers - Beaumont and Fletcher’s A King and No King and P. B. Shelley’s Prometheus Unbound include characters named Panthea - giving it a poetic aura in English. Despite this pedigree, real-life usage has remained rare, outside Greece, where Πανθέα persists sporadically. Variants and transliterations include Pantheia, Panthéa, Panthia, and Pantea; related short forms are Thea and, less commonly, Pantha. The name’s meaning evokes comprehensive divinity and a pantheonic sweep, appealing to parents seeking a mythic, elevated classic.
