Ponthus
p(o)-nthus,
pon-thus
Origin:Greek
Other Origin(s):Latin
Meaning:Sea; Fifth
As a variant of the Greek and Latin title Pontius, Ponthus has several possible meanings. It could be related to pontos, a Greek word that translates to “sea.” Whether they’re bright and beautiful or enchantingly deep, little Ponthus' eyes may remind you of the vastness of the deep sea! Since the Latin word for “fifth” is quintus, some sources also suggest that Ponthus carried the same definition in Oscan, a now-extinct Italian language. If your little one arrives on the fifth day of the month or is the fifth addition to your crew, naming them Ponthus could be a lovely way to celebrate.
