Costopoulos Surname Meaning
The Greek surname Costopoulos (Κωστόπουλος) is a patronymic surname formed from Kostas/Kostis (Κώστας/Κωστής), familiar forms of Konstantinos (Κωνσταντίνος), and the suffix -opoulos (-όπουλος), meaning “descendant of.” Konstantinos derives from Latin Constantinus, based on constans, meaning “steadfast,” “constant,” or “firm.” Costopoulos therefore essentially means “descendant of Kostas.” The spelling Costopoulos is a western transliteration, while Kostopoulos more directly represents the modern Greek pronunciation.
