Gkouzou Surname Meaning
The Greek surname Gkouzou (Γκούζου) is the genitive or feminine form of Gkouzos (Γκούζος), likely derived from an older regional personal or descriptive nickname. The Gkouz-/Guz- root may preserve Ottoman Turkish, Albanian, Aromanian, Slavic, or other Balkan linguistic influence. Turkish göz, meaning “eye,” and related Balkan nickname vocabulary provide one possible direction, but a direct connection cannot be established from the surname alone. Gkouzou therefore represents the corresponding feminine or family form after an ancestor known as Gkouzos gave his designation to the household.
