Giannoulidis Surname Meaning
The Greek surname Giannoulidis (Γιαννουλίδης) is a patronymic surname derived from Giannoulis (Γιαννούλης), a diminutive of Giannis (Γιάννης), the Greek form of Ioannis (Ιωάννης), meaning “God is gracious.” The suffix -idis (-ίδης) means “son of” or “descendant of,” commonly associated with Pontic and Asia Minor Greek naming traditions. The surname Giannoulidis therefore means “son or descendant of Giannoulis,” preserving paternal lineage rooted in a Christian personal name.
