Markoulakou Surname Meaning
The Greek surname Markoulakou (Μαρκουλάκου) is the genitive or feminine form of Markoulakos (Μαρκουλάκος), derived from Markos (Μάρκος) through the familiar form Markoulis/Markoulas and the suffix -akos (-άκος), strongly associated with Laconia, Mani, and the southern Peloponnese. Markos is the Greek form of Marcus, an ancient Roman personal name. Markoulakou therefore represents the feminine hereditary form of a southern Peloponnesian surname essentially identifying the family or descendants of an ancestor named Markos.
