The frangos Surname
frangos Name Meaning and History
Greek: from Frankos, literally ‘French’ or ‘Frankish’ (see
Frank), but applied by extension to all Western Europeans and
all Catholics (including ethnic Greek Catholics). In some cases,
Frangos is a short form of Greek patronymic surnames such as
Frangopoulos ‘son of (the) Frank’, Frangoglou, and
compounds such as Frangogiannis ‘Frank John’ (i.e. ‘John the
Westerner’ or ‘John the Catholic’), Frangodimitris ‘Dimitri, son of Frank’, and Frangomikhalis ‘Michael, son
of Frank’.
