Meaning & History
In some cases this is a latinized form of Greek Πανδείη (Pandeie) or Πανδεία (Pandeia) - though the spelling Πανδία (Pandia) has also been used - which may be related to the word πανδῖος (pandios) meaning "all-divine". This was either an epithet of the Greek moon goddess Selene or the name of her daughter, an obscure figure who was perhaps a goddess of the full moon.
