Meaning & History
Hellenized form of the Coptic given name Pakhom.Folk etymology has interpreted this name as being of Greek origin, connecting it to the Greek elements παχύς (pachys) meaning "fat, thick, stout, large" and ὦμος (omos) meaning "shoulder", which results in an overall meaning of "broad-shouldered".This name was notably borne by an Egyptian saint from the 4th century AD.
