Origin: Greek

Meaning: Immortal

Assuming you’re a Marvel fan, you’re no stranger to the name Thanos. Well, did you know that it comes from Athanasios? This Greek name, meaning “immortal,” can also be transliterated as Athanase, Athanasius, and Atancio. Borne by people from all walks of life, including popes, professors, revolutionaries, artists, and athletes, it seems they have really taken its meaning to heart. Perhaps the secret to immortality is in the words and thoughts and actions that one leaves behind. Inspire your little Athanase to do just that so that they may be remembered forevermore.
