Pavlis is Greek in Origin.
Pavlis is a cross-cultural masculine given name and occasional surname-based given name, rooted in the widespread Paul family of names. It ultimately derives from Latin Paulus, meaning “small” or “humble.” In Greek contexts Pavlis (Παυλής) functions as a familiar or regional form of Pavlos; in Czech and Slovak spheres it aligns with the diminutive-derived Pavliš/Pavlík and the surname Pavlis, later adapted as a given name in some families. The name also appears in Balkan and Cypriot usage through Hellenic and Slavic contact.
Use of Pavlis follows the prominence of Saint Paul the Apostle, whose legacy carried Paul-based forms across Christian Europe. Variant forms and cognates include Paul, Paolo, Pablo, Pavel, Pavle, Pavlo, Paweł, Pál, Pavao, and Pavlos; related diminutives or spellings are Pavliš and Pavli. Feminine counterparts are Paula, Pavla, and Pavlina. Informal nicknames such as Pav and Pavi occur in modern use.
