What the ending tells

The dropdown, Ending, sorts the list. -opoulos means descendant of and began in the Peloponnese: 51 names here. -idis and -iadis mean son of (30), -akis is linked with Crete (33), and -ou is a genitive mainly from Cyprus (34). 14 more carry a regional ending such as -atos, from Kefalonia.

Papa-, Hatzi- and Kara-

Under More filters, Opens with keeps the 16 names in Papa-, which marks descent from a priest, the 4 in Hatzi- and the 3 in Kara-. Hatzi- and Kara- are Turkish prefixes that became common in Greek surnames under Ottoman rule.

Tips

For Greek last names starting with P, pick P under More filters: 45 names, 16 of them in Papa-.
An ending says where a kind of name arose, not where one family comes from.

Questions and answers

What are popular Greek last names?

This page found no official open count for Greece, so it gives no ranks. Every name here has its own Wikipedia article, most with a list of people who carry it; Papadopoulos and Georgiou are two with long lists.

Why do so many Greek last names end in -opoulos or -akis?

They are old ways of saying whose child someone was. -opoulos means descendant of and spread from the Peloponnese; -akis is linked with Crete; -idis, the oldest of these endings, means son of.

Is this a Greek last name generator?

Yes. Each press deals five real Greek surnames at random from the 324, in Greek and Latin letters, and a filter narrows the draw to one ending, one opening or one letter.

Why do most cards give no meaning?

A meaning is printed only where the name's article or dictionary entry states one, as for Kalogeropoulos, son of a monk. 45 of the 324 cards quote a meaning; the rest tell only what the ending tells.

How this list was compiled: A selection by a written rule, built on 2 October 2026; this page found no official open count of surnames for Greece, so nothing here says how common a name is. A surname is listed when it has an article in English Wikipedia's 'Category:Greek-language surnames' (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Greek-language_surnames, 590 articles read that day) whose opening calls it a surname or family name and gives its spelling in Greek letters, and that spelling, put into Latin letters, matches the article's title: 324 names. The Latin spelling is the article's title. The Greek spelling is the man's form the article gives, in one-accent (monotonic) spelling; a woman's form in -ou or -i is not listed as a name of its own, an article that gives only a genitive or a mismatched Greek form is left out, and two articles on one Greek spelling make one card that names both Latin spellings. One accent slip in an article was corrected against English Wiktionary (Αλβανός). 'Meaning given' quotes the meaning in the article's opening (45 cards); a few more cards carry the first sentence of the name's etymology in English Wiktionary; the other cards give no meaning. What an ending tells is from the list of common suffixes in English Wikipedia's 'Greek name' (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_name#Common_suffixes), read the same day: -opoulos, -akis, -idis and -iadis, -ou, and the regional endings -atos, -eas, -akos, -oudis, -ellis and -oglou; the prefix Papa- is given there as descent from a priest, and Hatzi- and Kara- as Turkish prefixes of the Ottoman period. An ending is read from the Latin spelling and says where a kind of name arose, not where a family is from.
