Pavlos

Meaning of Pavlos

The name Pavlos is the Greek form of the Latin Paulus, literally meaning “small” or “humble,” and has been woven into Hellenic tradition since antiquity. In Persian sensibility, where names often carry echoes of poetry and history, Pavlos might shimmer like a subtle motif on an ancient silk carpet—modest in appearance yet rich in resonance. Pronounced PAHV-lohs (/ˈpɑvloʊs/), it never climbs the top of U.S. popularity lists—typically fewer than ten newborns per year and ranking between 600th and 930th—so it offers parents a measure of singularity (and the consolation of never sharing a cubby with another Paul). With its apostolic associations and quietly assured bearing, Pavlos appeals to those who value depth over drama.
