Kopitopoulou Surname Meaning
The Greek surname Kopitopoulou (Κοπιτοπούλου) is the feminine form of Kopitopoulos (Κοπιτόπουλος), a patronymic surname ending in -opoulos (-όπουλος), meaning “descendant of.” The root Kopit-/Kopita- likely derives from an older personal, occupational, or descriptive nickname. A possible connection exists with kopita/pita-related Balkan vocabulary or with Slavic and other southeastern European personal-name forms, but the precise origin cannot be established securely. Kopitopoulos therefore essentially means “descendant of Kopitos/Kopita,” while Kopitopoulou represents the corresponding feminine hereditary family form.
