Greek Cypriot name

Greek Cypriots may bear common Greek surnames, but there are some which are markedly Cypriot; there are some names which indicate place of birth or origin, or occupation, for example: Παφίτης (Paphitis), "from Paphos"; Καϊμακλιώτης (Kaimakliotis), "from Kaimakli"; Σκαρπάρης (Skarparis), "shoemaker"; Κωμοδρόμος (Komodromos), "smith".

In keeping with older traditions of Greeks, Cypriots often have as their patronym, literally, the name of the father.

Cypriot surnames may include digraphs that mark aspirated stops, e.g. Ττοφή /tʰoˈfi/.

Cypriot first names include: Γιωρκής (Yiorkis), Στυλλής (Styllis), Αλισαβού (Alisavou), Πκιερής (Pkieris).

Examples include: Βαρνάβας (Barnabas), Βερεγγάρια (Berengaria), Δωμέτιος (Dometios), Μάμας (Mamas), Μάριος (Marios), Νεόφυτος (Neophytos).
