Atzamoglou Surname Meaning
The Greek surname Atzamoglou (Ατζάμογλου) is an Ottoman-influenced patronymic surname ending in -oglou (-όγλου), from Turkish oğlu, meaning “son of.” The root Atzam-/Acam- may derive from Ottoman Turkish Acem, historically referring to a Persian or person from Persia and, more broadly in some contexts, someone associated with the Persian-speaking east. Such geographic and ethnic identifiers commonly became personal nicknames throughout the Ottoman world. The surname may therefore originally have meant “son of the Acem/Persian” or “son of Atzam,” before becoming hereditary among a Greek family from Asia Minor or another Ottoman community.
