It is often called the cradle of Western civilization because it was the birthplace of democracy, philosophy, and many other fundamental aspects of Western culture.

How to Greek Name?

Typically, Greek names consist of a First name followed by a patronymic surname derived from the father’s name.

For example, if a man named Nikos has a son named George, the son’s full name might be George Nikos, with “Nikos” being the father’s name used to create the surname.

This convention helps identify familial relationships and is common in Greek-speaking communities.

Did Greeks have two names?

In Greece, people typically had one name. Sometimes, this name was followed by a patronymic (their father’s name), a reference to their clan or tribe, or their place of origin.

When women got married, they were known by their husband’s name, not their father’s.
