Gkotsopoulos Surname Meaning
The Greek surname Gkotsopoulos (Γκοτσόπουλος) is a patronymic surname formed from an ancestral nickname such as Gkotsos/Gotsos and the suffix -opoulos (-όπουλος), meaning “descendant of.” The Gkots-/Gots- root may represent a regional familiar personal name or a nickname influenced by Albanian, Aromanian, Slavic, or other Balkan naming traditions. Gkotsopoulos therefore essentially means “descendant of Gkotsos,” with the -opoulos ending particularly characteristic of the Peloponnese.
