The name of a 6th century Christian saint, Arthelais was the daughter of a Roman official who had to flee to Italy after the emperor Justinian tried to compromise her vows of chastity. She was kidnapped by highway men on her way, but was later freed, after the servants travelling with her prayed for her release. She is venerated as the patron saint of kidnap victims, exiled people, and the sick.
 
The exact etymology of the name is unknown, though it could have been inspired by the saint's mother's name, listed as Aithusa or Anthusa, meaning "light up" and "flower" respectively. Alternatively, it might be a Latinized and feminized form of Arthur meaning "bear"; a variation on the Greek name Arethusa meaning "quick water"; or a diminutive of Artemis meaning "butcher" or "safe". Based on other Greek names and elements, "bread of the people, nourisher of people" might be another option. This is all conjecture however, and there may be other possibilities.
 
The Italian form of the name is Artellaide.

The name has featured in Star Trek (Kira Nerys) and in Doctor Who (a friend of Donna Noble), while it is also borne by actress Nerys Hughes.

Lettice is still occasionally heard in upper-class British families, but we fear it would cause too much salad-green teasing to be considered in the U.S.  Calling your little Lettice Lettie could help make the name more user-friendly, or go all the way to the original Letitia.

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.
