Discover Your Greek Roots by Typing Your Surname

[Papastratosels26]

A search engine is promising to identify the region of Greece one may come from by simply typing one’s surname.

Once the name is typed in Greek, a map of the country appears with the regions that the particular name is prevalent.

We tried Papadopoulos, a very common Greek surname and here are the results:



Another example we tried is Christakis

I am like 3 percent Greek and my ancestor surname (Demetros) peak is Euboea/Central Greece, that is what Lavrenitis told me using that search engine

Btw are Euboeans genetically more Central Greek or Aegan Islander ? Curious

From my understanding they are like mainland Greeks.

Accurate for me, there seems to be a high occurance of the name around where my grandfather was from in Arcadia.

Lol Papadopoulos in Northern Greece is most common for Pontic Greeks

Closer to mainlanders. Parts of Euboea were settled by Arvanites and Slavs.
