Pan-Am[edit]

Does anyone know the definition of PAN in Pan Am Airways? Many thanks. 68.195.143.63 (talk) 16:44, 19 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

I'm guessing it's (deprecated template usage) pan-, meaning they cover all destinations in America. Equinox 16:46, 19 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

Why "Pan"?[edit]

What does the "Pan" in "Pan-American" mean and/or where does it come from? Asking as a foreigner. Maybe the answer is obvious to people who speak English as their mothertongue. 109.90.26.254 09:01, 26 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
