Question

Does anyone know the origins of the words MAYDAY and PAN PAN?

. .Actually I just got off my bum and looked them up in the dictionary. Only mayday is listed and it says:

mayday - international radio distress-signal.[representing pronunciation of French m'aidez which means "help me".

But still I wonder about PAN PAN.
