Panayotis sounds exotic, where can that name come from?

The footballer is Lalas is the same surname as Lala?

Yes, Greeks (used to) add an s to Albanian last names to make them Greek. Same as Serbs (used to) add vic to make them Serb. In Serbia he would be Lalavic or Lalovic. Same as Gjokovic (Djokovic)

By this you claim that Lal-a/o root may be only Albanian, like an exclusive for whole World. LalAvic surname is non existant in Serbia and sounds unnatural and Lalovic surname does not mean it has Albanian origin. That's like if I called Russian everything which is written or sounds like Russian.


LALOVIĆI

They came from the Banyan Brotherhood. It is said that the Lalovićs were related to the Tošićs and Bajčets, with whom they moved together to Zatarije, after the attack of the Turks on them and their great suffering and slaughter.

After arriving in Zatari, they first settled in Bitina, from where they moved to Krusevo and Oćevina.

This displacement from Miljanić could have been in the second half of the 17th. century. There are still toponyms in Banija today that resemble Lalovići, such as"Lalovića Osoje".

It is from 1859. Gliso Lalovic jumped into the Lake, as a jump, because he killed the Turkish zulumcar Ahmet Dizdar. Glisho had five sons: Jovo, Pero, Jovan, Vasilj, and Krsman. Their descendants are also called Glishovici after Glisha.

They settled in Uskosi near Zabljak, where their descendants still live today.

No, it does not mean that at all. I (don't) understand your passion for Balkans but do me a favor and don't quote me with your dumb arguments.

Tronder (?).

That's a highly typical Greek. :coffee:

Wiki says he's half Greek not Albanian: Lalas was born in Birmingham, Michigan, United States, to a Greek father, Demetrios Lalas and an American mother, Anne Harding Woodworth. His father was a professor who later became the director of Greece's national observatory, while his mother is a widely published poet. Lalas speaks Spanish and Italian in addition to his native English and Greek.
