Hermes gave Pandora her name in the traditional Greek myth.
Hesiod’s account presents Pandora as a divinely constructed woman whose qualities come from several gods. Hermes, the messenger of the gods, is associated with giving her a name and with supplying traits connected to communication. The name Pandora is usually explained as “all-gifted,” reflecting the gifts contributed by the gods.
This detail is easy to lose because Zeus is the deity who orders Pandora’s creation, while Hephaestus is associated with making her form and Athena with teaching her crafts. Hermes has a later but important role in the assembly of her identity.
Ancient versions do not always distribute every attribute in exactly the same way, and translations can differ in wording. Still, Hermes is the standard answer for the god who names Pandora in the mythological account. The story emphasizes that her identity is deliberately produced by divine action.
