Kouloufakou Surname Meaning
The Greek surname Kouloufakou (Κουλουφάκου) is the genitive form of Kouloufakis (Κουλουφάκης), derived from a vernacular personal name or nickname Kouloufakis, combined with the suffix -akis (-άκης), a diminutive and patronymic ending especially characteristic of Crete and southern Greece. In the feminine or genitive form, the ending appears as -akou (-άκου), indicating “of Kouloufakis” or “female descendant of Kouloufakis.” The surname Kouloufakou therefore means “descendant of Kouloufakis,” preserving paternal lineage rooted in a vernacular personal name.
