Mais Surname Meaning

The surname Mais (Μαΐς or Μαϊς depending on transcription) is less typical of traditional Greek surname structure and may derive from a transliterated or adapted surname of foreign origin, possibly French or another European language. In modern contexts, such names appear within Greek records through migration and diaspora. The surname Mais therefore likely represents a non-native surname preserved through transliteration rather than classical Greek surname formation.
