What is the meaning of the name Panthia ?

The baby name Panthia is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced pan-THEE-ə (IPA: /pænˈθiːə/).

Panthia is Greek in Origin.

Panthia is a rare feminine name rooted in Ancient Greek, best understood as an Anglicized form of Panthea/Pantheia (Greek Πανθεία), from pan “all” + thea/theos “goddess/god.” It carries the luminous sense “all-divine,” “belonging to all the gods,” or more loosely “universal, sacred.”

The name is documented in classical literature via Xenophon’s Cyropaedia, where Pantheia is the virtuous wife of Abradatas, and later in English Renaissance drama, notably Beaumont and Fletcher’s A King and No King. In the Anglophone world Panthia and Panthea surface sporadically in 18th–19th‑century records, but the name has remained uncommon, lending it a distinctive, antique aura today. Principal variants include Panthea and Pantheia; related theonymic forms are Thea and Theia, while nicknames such as Thea, Tia, or Pan can work in modern use. Cognate compounds like Theodora and Dorothea share the theos root.
