Meaning & Origin
The goddess and personification of peace; one of the Horae, she is a daughter of Jupiter and Themis, and her sisters are Justitia (Justice) and Disciplina / Eunomia (Order of Law); her Greek counterpart is Eirene.
Pax is a boy's and girl's baby name of Latin origin, from the Latin word meaning 'peace.' In Roman mythology, Pax was the goddess of peace, one of the Horae. The concept gave us the famous Pax Romana — Rome's two centuries of relative peace under Augustus.
Pax gained celebrity visibility when Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt named their adopted son Pax Thien. Crisp, meaningful, and rooted in history, it is one of the most powerful one-syllable names a boy can carry.
