Hou Surname Meaning

The surname Hou (Χου or Χού depending on transcription) is less typical in Greek structure and may derive from a transliteration of a foreign surname, possibly of Asian origin, or from a shortened vernacular form influenced by migration and linguistic adaptation. In modern contexts, such names can enter Greek naming systems through diaspora or administrative transcription. The surname Hou therefore likely represents a non-native or adapted surname preserved through transliteration rather than traditional Greek surname formation.
