Greek: Παναγιώτης, IPA:[panaˈʝotis]), "Παν" (all) "άγιος" (holy or saint) suffix "-της" (which can mean "of the"), is a common male Greek name. It derives from the Greek epithet
Panagia or Panayia ("All-Holy") for
Mary, mother of Jesus.[1] The feminine form of the name is Panagiota or Panayiota (Παναγιὡτα).
Having 3 name days within a year (e.g. 2 February, 26 December), one of them is celebrated together with Maria, Mario, Mary, Despoina (or Despina) and all their diminutives on the
Dormition of the Theotokos on 15 August.
