The name Pangaea comes from two ancient Greek words: pan (all or entire) and gaia (Earth) so it simply means the entire Earth. the name Pangaea is used for the supposed super continent which contained all the landmasses of the Earth joined together.

Pangaea is the name of the ancient supercontinent that existed about 335 to 175 million years ago, before breaking apart into the continents we know today. The word "Pangaea" is derived from Greek, where "pan" means "all" and "gaea" means "Earth."
