Charitopoulou Surname Meaning

The Greek surname Charitopoulou (Χαριτοπούλου) is the feminine form of Charitopoulos (Χαριτόπουλος), a patronymic surname formed from Charitos (Χαρίτος), Charis (Χάρης), or a related personal name and the suffix -opoulos (-όπουλος), meaning “descendant of.” The root charis (χάρις) means “grace,” “favor,” or “charm” and has produced numerous Greek personal names. Charitopoulos therefore essentially means “descendant of Charitos/Charis,” while Charitopoulou represents the corresponding feminine hereditary form.
