What does Pallas mean how do you define Pallas what does pallas mean?

I've seen two different etymologies for Pallas' name. The first is that Pallas was the Titan that presided over knowledge and guarded it jealously, so that creation would exist in dull ignorance. During the Titanomachy, Athena bested Pallas, taking his name (this representing the triumph of knowledge over ignorance). The other is that Pallas means "to brandish a spear", meaning that he was a war deity. This is further enforced by his fathering of Nike, goddess of victory. After defeating Pallas, Athena took over his duties and patronage of Nike. It's likely that the the second is he older of the two.
