Kaltsatou Surname Meaning
The Greek surname Kaltsatou (Καλτσατού) is the genitive form of Kaltsatos (Καλτσάτος), derived from kaltsa (κάλτσα), meaning “sock,” a word of Italian origin (calza). The ending -ou (-ού) indicates “of Kaltsatos” or “belonging to Kaltsatos.” In Greek surname formation, clothing-related terms often produced occupational or descriptive nicknames. The surname Kaltsatou therefore means “descendant of the sock maker or seller,” preserving paternal lineage rooted in an occupational nickname.
