Assimakopoulos Surname Meaning

The Greek surname Assimakopoulos (Ασημακόπουλος) is a patronymic surname formed from Assimakis (Ασημάκης) and the suffix -opoulos (-όπουλος), meaning “descendant of.” Assimakis derives from asimi (ασήμι), meaning “silver,” and developed as both a personal name and complimentary nickname. Assimakopoulos therefore essentially means “descendant of Assimakis,” preserving an ancestral personal name associated with silver, brightness, or value. The -opoulos formation is particularly characteristic of the Peloponnese.
