Meaning
Latinized form of Greek Παγκράτιος (Pankratios), derived from the Greek word παγκρατής (pankrates) meaning “all-powerful”, from the roots πᾶν (pan) meaning “all” and κράτος (kratos) meaning “power”. Early Byzantine Christians used this as a title of Christ. It was borne by two saints, a 1st-century Sicilian martyr and a semi-legendary 4th-century Roman martyr.
