Demopoulou Surname Meaning
The Greek surname Demopoulou (Δημοπούλου) is the feminine form of Demopoulos (Δημόπουλος), a patronymic surname derived from Demos (Δήμος), meaning “people” or “community,” or from the personal name Dimitrios (Δημήτριος), combined with the suffix -opoulos (-όπουλος), meaning “son of” or “descendant of.” In the feminine form the ending appears as -opoulou (-οπούλου), indicating a female descendant. The suffix -opoulos is especially common in the Peloponnese and clearly marks paternal lineage. The surname Demopoulou therefore means “female descendant of Demopoulos,” preserving paternal lineage rooted in a patronymic structure based on a personal name or the concept of “the people.”
