Kalonarou Surname Meaning
The Greek surname Kalonarou (Καλονάρωυ or Καλονάρο depending on spelling) is the genitive form of Kalonaros (Καλονάρος), derived from kalos (καλός), meaning “good” or “beautiful,” combined with a suffix forming a descriptive personal name. The ending -ou (-ού) indicates “of Kalonaros” or “belonging to Kalonaros.” In Greek naming tradition, such genitive constructions became hereditary surnames. The surname Kalonarou therefore means “descendant of Kalonaros,” preserving paternal lineage rooted in a positive descriptive nickname.
