Pallas Meaning and Origin
Pallas is a boy’s name of Greek origin, meaning “youth, wisdom.” In Greek mythology, Pallas (also known as Pallas Athena) was a prominent figure. She was the goddess of wisdom, courage, warfare, and crafts. Pallas Athena is often depicted wearing a helmet and holding a spear and shield. She was considered one of the twelve Olympian gods and played a significant role in many myths and legends. Pallas is also the name of a large asteroid in our solar system. It was the second asteroid to be discovered, after Ceres, and it is one of the largest objects in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. The asteroid was named after Pallas Athena, reflecting the tradition of naming asteroids after figures from Greek and Roman mythology.
