Not just Crete but also Laconia/Mani and some Cyclades islands have surnames ending in -akis.

A Cretan girl told me that the origin of the termination "-akis" originates in the Ottoman occupation, after some revolts by the Cretans, the Turks called -akis in order to humiliate them.
-akis means -little

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heraclides_Ponticus
You've got some really famous matches in myheritage....Heraclides Ponticus (Greek: Ἡρακλείδης ὁ Ποντικός Herakleides; c. 390 BC – c. 310 BC)[1] was a Greek philosopher and astronomer who was born in Heraclea Pontica, now Karadeniz Ereğli, Turkey, and migrated to Athens. He is best remembered for proposing that the Earth rotates on its axis, from west to east, once every 24 hours.[2] He is also hailed as the originator of the heliocentric theory, although this is doubted by some.

What about the suffix -ikos? I've seen Greek names like Pavlos -> Pavlikos. Is it a diminutive as well?
In Sardinian language the diminutives use a very similar suffix, probably derived from Greek (Greek language and Byzantine liturgy were used by Sardinian church until the end of XIth century; this may explain the existence of these diminutives in Sardinian language).
Greek :
Pavlos -> Pavlikos
Sardinian :
Paulu -> Paulícu | Paula -> Paulíca
Antóni -> Antonícu | Antonia -> Antoníca
Servadore -> Servadorícu
Bore -> Borícu, Forícu (diminutives of Servadore)
Peppe -> Peppícu (diminutives of Zuseppe = Joseph)
