But I gave it up in disgust at the erroneous and misleading entry on Pantaleon. Once he became Christian he took the name 'Panteleimon', meaning 'All-merciful' Therefore he cannot be referred to as Saint Pantalon, as that is not a Christian name.<br /><br />See the OrthodoxWiki article: "They named him Pantaleon, which means in all things like a lion, but when he converted to Christianity, he changed his name to Panteleimon, which means all-merciful."
