PALLAS
Gender: Feminine & Masculine Usage: Greek Mythology Other Scripts: Παλλας (Ancient Greek) Pronounced: PAL-əs (English) [key] Probably derived from a Greek word meaning "maiden". In Greek mythology this was the name of a friend of the goddess Athena. Athena accidentally killed her, and subsequently took the name Pallas in honour of her friend. This was also the name of a Titan and several other masculine mythological characters. In these cases the name may be derived from Greek παλλω (pallo) "to brandish".
