[Piccolo]

Probably anywhere in Italy. She is very pretty.

[Sikeliot]

To my eyes she looks very Cretan despite being from Thessaloniki.

[Foxy]

In the first pic (without make up) she looks Iberian. She would pass also in Sardinia.

[Faklon]

It's possible that she's of East Thracian background.

The Greek government settled here Christian Greek refugees from various parts of Eastern Thrace. The village was designated as a purely refugee one. In 1928 it had around 550 inhabitants.

Her surname shows Cretan ancestry aswell.

It's an interesting surname certainly.

http://www.stougiannidis.gr/etym_laskaris.htm

But does every -akis relate with Crete?

[Sikeliot]

Lascari is a surname in Sicily ^^

[Tooting Carmen]

Pan-'Euro'-med look.

Iberia, Italy and of course Greece.

That, plus looks like a typical telenovela actress.

Nope, I have an -akis name in my family from East Aegean/Asia Minor also.

[Sakis]

The origins of -akis are definitely Cretan but they can be also found elsewhere because of migrations.

[Sikeliot]

-akis surnames can also be found in Mani, and in the Aegean islands I think.

The Maniot surnames end in -eas and -akos.

[Sikeliot]

The Maniot surnames end in -eas and -akos.

I've seen -akis too.

Surely -akos is the same ending and a result of Cretan influence, no?

Proof for this?

How do you explain this name?

http://apps.vrisko.gr/apo-pou-krataei-i-skoufia-sou/%CE%BC%CF%80%CE%B1%CE%BA%CE%B1%CE%BA%CE%B7%CF%82

Mpakos is typical for the area for Charalampakos afaik.

I guess it could also be from "Mpaka",but why it doesn't even exist in Crete?

My surname has the typical Peloponnesian ending -poulos,i searched for it and it is not even found in the Peloponnese :rotfl: how do you exlpain it?

1.Your name isn't typical Peloponnesian,it also has -ousis in it(or some other derivative that I can't think right now).

2.Do you have known Peloponnesian ancestry?Because you may have gotten it by various accounts.

No but i thought that i had distant Peloponnesian ancestry because of it.

[Faklon]

...

[Sakis]

[QUOTE=Faklon;3126559]Ηow does it compare with a known distant of mine?

It is expected to be found in the Peloponnese.

[Scholarios]

No idea.

Yes , Cretans settled in Mani at the Turkish conquest of Crete. I guess there is some rivalry that stems from this event. There are def a few Cretan surnames there.


. The Maniot "-akos" is not to be confused with the Cretan "-akis", which was introduced into Mani by the first Cretan refugees who fled Crete once the Ottomans eventually fully occupied Crete in 1669 (although the towns of Sfakia and Zoniana, were autonomous under the Ottoman Empire). The Maniot "akos" denotes strength, power and masculinity as opposed to akis" which denotes weakness, being small, and being effeminate in nature. There are surnames that are found in Mani now days but they have no origins in Mani, they originate from other regions of Greece.

Yeah, I always figured. But everytime I told my family that, they insisted we were no Cretans ha ha

[Sakis]

Of course,there are no chances of knowing it if the ancestry is very distant.

[Faklon]

It is expected to be found in the Peloponnese.

Thing is that it may have gotten similar forms by various accounts(you may just have been named by a Pelopponesian to say),there are some indicators of course.

Svise mia to link.
