In Hesiod’s Pandora story, who gave Pandora her name?

In Hesiod’s Pandora story, Hermes gave Pandora her name.

Hesiod describes the gods preparing the newly fashioned woman and identifies Hermes as the figure who gives her the name Pandora. The name means “all-gifted,” referring to the gifts supplied by the gods involved in her creation and presentation.

Hermes was the Olympian messenger and a god associated with travel, commerce, boundaries, and communication. In the Pandora episode, Hesiod also connects him with giving her a shameless or deceptive mind and a lying tongue, depending on the translation.

This detail is easy to confuse with Hephaestus’s role. Hephaestus makes Pandora from earth; Hermes names her. Zeus orders the overall plan, while other deities provide additional attributes.
