Meaning & origin
Panfilo is a rare Italian and Spanish name with Greek roots, meaning 'all-loving.' It first appeared in U.S. records in 1918, but usage has always been minimal. The name reached its peak in 1929, when it was given to a handful of boys, and has since seen stable, very low usage. Because it never ranked in the top 1000, the 1-in-N statistic is not calculable for any given year. Panfilo has not been recorded in sufficient numbers to identify a top state, but it has been used primarily in communities with Italian or Spanish heritage. Despite its obscurity, the name carries a warm meaning and a classic sound.
Panfilo derives from the Greek name Pamphilos, from pan 'all' and philos 'friend, beloved'. It was used in Italian and Spanish contexts, often in honor of Saint Pamphilus, a 4th-century martyr. The name saw limited use in the English-speaking world, mostly among Italian and Spanish immigrant families.
