About Pantalaimon

Borrowed from the Greek panteleimon, a name that was also given to the patron saint of doctors and midwives, St. Pantleon, this form was used by the writer Philip Pullman in his popular series, His Dark Materials. Meaning "all compassionate", it is borne by the main character's dæmon (an manifestation of a person's inner-self, appearing outside their body as an animal).

While other names from the series have begun to catch on, albeit with different spellings, Pantalaimon has yet to join Lyra, Seraphina (Serafina), Azriel (Asriel), Will, or Colter (Coulter) in the charts. It could make a cool middle though.

Pronounced pan-tuh-LY-mun.
