Southern Italian Names Of Greek Origin

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: ? = eta, & ? = 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.
A Greek alpha table can be found here:
