Meaning & origin
Panagiotis is a distinctly Greek name with deep roots in Orthodox Christian tradition. In the United States, the name saw its peak usage in 1975, ranking 4,539th in 2023. At that time, approximately 1 in 77,640 baby boys were named Panagiotis. While the name is not in the top 1,000, it has been rising in popularity since 2022, showing a renewed interest from Greek-American families. The name is primarily used in communities with Greek heritage and has not seen widespread adoption beyond that. The 1970s were its strongest decade in the U.S., with a revival evident in recent years. Top states for the name reflect areas with large Greek-American populations.
Panagiotis is a Greek masculine name derived from 'pan' (all) and 'agios' (holy), meaning 'all-holy' or 'most holy'. It is a common Greek name, often given in honor of the Virgin Mary (Panagia, 'All-Holy'), though the male form is a separate given name. The name has been in continuous use in Greece for centuries and is particularly associated with Orthodox Christian tradition.
