Pax is a Latin name meaning "peace". It was also used in Pre-Norman England as Pæcc, the meaning of which is unknown.
In Roman Mythology Pax is the goddess of peace and is sometimes associated with spring as her festival is held on January 30th. She was said to be the daughter of the god Jupiter and the goddess Justice. Her worship was popularized by the Emperor Augustus to help stabilize the Roman Empire after years of civil war and instability in the late republic.
