An overlooked name from Greek mythology, Pallas is both an epithet for the goddess of wisdom and a name in its own right, borne by a daughter of the sea god Triton who was raised alongside the aforementioned goddess. She was accidentally killed by Athena during an athletics festival, when Zeus distracted her. Athena went on to take the epithet in her honor.
 
Pallas is often interpreted as meaning "youth, young woman, or maiden", though some sources have suggested it could alternatively mean "to brandish". This latter meaning likely comes from another versions of Greek legend, in which the name is given to a Giant son of Gaia, whom Athena slays and then flays, taking his skin as a trophy.
 
Pronounced as PAHL-LAHS in Classical Greek and PAL-uhs in English, it was chosen in 2026 by author Coco Mellors for her daughter, Pallas Star. She and her husband chose the name for the goddess, having read a book about her to their son while his was in the NICU.
