What is the meaning of the name Pasithea ?

Pasithea is Greek in Origin.

Pasithea derives from Ancient Greek Πασιθέα, formed from pas/pasi “all, every” + thea “goddess; divine” (sometimes linked to θέα “sight, vision”). It is commonly glossed as “all-divine” or “universal goddess”; by the “vision” link, it can suggest “all-seeing” or “seen by all.”

In Greek myth, Pasithea is one of the Charites (Graces), associated with rest, relaxation, and dreamy states; in the Iliad, Hera promises her to Hypnos (Sleep), whom she later weds. The name appears in Hellenistic and later poetry and was revived by Renaissance and Romantic writers, often as Pasithee. Variants and forms include Pasithee (poetic and astronomical, a Jovian moon), Pasithei (scholarly), and the modern Greek Pasithea. Nicknames Thea, Thia, Sia, or Pasi are possible. Related names sharing the thea/theos element include Thea, Dorothea, and Panthea. Usage today is rare but appealing for its mythic, serene aura.
