No offense, but if I saw him on the street, I would have thought unmixed Roma.

Plenty of Greeks settled in Romania from XVII to XIXth centuries, his surname don't mean absolutely anything in Romanian, he is typical fanariot product with oriental face. His face is not uncommon between MENA students from local University of Medicine and Farmacy, who I see everyday.

Could be...a lot of romanians have greek origins or admixture. This surname is common tho and adapted like many other foreign surnames in romania.

My eyes work in mysterious ways. You shouldn't take it seriously. Looks are subjective, as we've seen with autosomal DNA, but visually these are the vibes that I am receiving.

Very hooked nose, distant apart eye pupils, deep canine fossa, V shaped narrow jaw.
He look sort of Arab or Caucasus to me, except for a principle of browridges and pigmentation maybe.
Maybe he could be just one weird dinaro-med with urban degradating habits or he could have some Jewish admixture( even if not so recent).
As both an enterpreuner and a lawier, i would say that latter makes more sense( even though it could also be the both together...)
But of course it is just a guess.
Btw, his fore limbs don't seen to be very long. From which i guess he is of relatively short height, what do you think, OP?
