Thanasios
Thanasios Origin and Meaning
Thanasios is a masculine Greek name that derives from the Greek word 'athanasios', meaning 'immortal' or 'undying'. It's a variant of the more common Athanasios, with the initial 'A' dropped. The name carries strong connections to Greek heritage and Orthodox Christian traditions, as Saint Athanasius was a significant 4th-century theologian and Church Father. Thanasios remains relatively uncommon outside of Greek communities but offers parents seeking a name with deep historical roots and powerful meaning an excellent option. The name conveys strength and endurance while maintaining its cultural authenticity. In Greece and among Greek diaspora communities, the name continues to be used, though it's less frequent than its full form Athanasios.
