Nikitopoulou Surname Meaning
The Greek surname Nikitopoulou (Νικητοπούλου) is the feminine form of Nikitopoulos (Νικητόπουλος), formed from Nikitas (Νικήτας), Nikitos, or a related personal name and the suffix -opoulos (-όπουλος), meaning “descendant of.” The underlying Greek root nike (νίκη) means “victory,” and Nikitas essentially carries the sense “victor” or “victorious one.” Nikitopoulos therefore means “descendant of Nikitas/Nikitos,” while Nikitopoulou represents the corresponding feminine hereditary form.
