Danopoulou Surname Meaning
The Greek surname Danopoulou (Δανοπούλου) is the feminine form of Danopoulos (Δανόπουλος), a patronymic surname formed from an ancestral name or nickname such as Danos (Δάνος) and the suffix -opoulos (-όπουλος), meaning “descendant of.” Danos may derive from Daniel (Δανιήλ), another personal-name form, or potentially an ethnic nickname meaning “Dane,” depending on the family's history. Danopoulos therefore essentially means “descendant of Danos.” Danopoulou represents the corresponding feminine hereditary form after the ancestral personal designation became a permanent family surname.
