Meaning & History
Derived from Greek πασιφαής (pasiphaēs) meaning "shining on all", which is ultimately derived from Greek πᾶς (pas) meaning "all, for all, of all" combined with Greek φάος (phaos) meaning "light" (related to Greek φῶς (phos) "light"). In mythology, Pasiphaë was the daughter of Helios, the sun god, and Perse, the oldest daughter of Oceanus and Tethys.
