    I’m just curious, as it’s actually my wife’s maiden name. I don’t know a ton about Greek surnames, but I don’t think it’s too common.

    I know it's most likely Americanized in some way, but I'm curious what the meaning of the surname is.
    Hi,i think the surname Koutsibas comes from the surname Koutsoubas.
    Koutsoubas means something without a top or a tail.Etymologically is relevant with the ''lame man''.
    This surname can be found also in Kato Italia(Southern Italy) as ''Cozzupia'' and probably has it's roots from Byzantine times.


    edit:i noticed KingOf gives the same explanation with me in the first page
