Southern Italian Names Of Greek Origin
by Maridonna Benvenuti

Introduction
Southern Italy, which was called Megale Hellas, and Sicily were colonized by the ancient Greeks; one
colony North of Naples as far back as c. 750 B.C. The Greeks brought both the Ionian and Dorian
dialects with them. Large areas of Greek speakers in Calabria, Apulia, Lucania and Sicily were still
around at the end of the Late Middle Ages. There were a few, small areas that remained Greek
speaking after the Renaissance era. The near extinct, surviving language of the Greeks in Italy is
known as Griko.
These 200+ names were extracted from Gerhard Rohlfs' Dizionario dei Cognomi e Soprannomi in
Calabria. A majority of the names in the book are from the three provinces of Calabria: Cosenza,
Catanzaro and Reggio-Calabria. Names from other southern regions of Italy, Apulia, Basilicata,
Campania and Sicily are also present. The dates of this group of Greek or Greek-derived names range
from the 8th to 17th Centuries; most are from the 11th through the 13th centuries.
Spelling and Arrangement
Two special transliteration letters are used: ê = eta, & ô = omega. There are two lists: given names and
by-names and include a transliteration. These names are taken from the Table of Names which follows
the two groups of given names.

NOTES for the Table of Names: Only Greek and Greek-derived transliterations in the given
name and byname/surname fields are italicized, e.g. Lagodaris. Given names and byname/surnames
spelled in Greek, e.g., Βασίλειος are not italicized. Names, words & their origins are in Greek or
transliterated with accents removed. Many headwords are modern Italian and have been normalized.
Several names were found at the PBW website but space constraints does not allow me to present the
full citation information. A name could be a given, 2nd, location and/or occupation. The list is
arranged first by century, then by alpha of the headword. You will find Greek K names among names
beginning with C and V among the B names.
