History:

It first showed up in Sir Philip Sidney's long romance book, *Arcadia*, written in the late 1500s. Sidney probably created this name. People aren't sure where it comes from, but it might be from the Greek words "pan" (meaning "all") and "melos" (meaning "honey" or "sweetness"). So, this name could mean "all sweetness" or "all honey." Since the character in *Arcadia* is good and beautiful, this name probably stood for the perfect woman. Even though it started as a fictional name, *Arcadia*'s popularity made Pamela a common given name, suggesting sweetness, virtue, and charm.
