Paraschidis Surname Meaning
The Greek surname Paraschidis (Παρασχίδης) is a patronymic surname derived from the personal name Paraschos (Παράσχος) and the suffix -idis (-ίδης), meaning “descendant of.” Paraschos is a traditional Greek male personal name connected with parecho (παρέχω), meaning “to provide” or “grant,” and religious expressions asking God to grant or provide something. Paraschidis therefore essentially means “descendant of Paraschos,” with the -idis formation particularly characteristic of Pontic, Asia Minor, Macedonian, and northern Greek surname traditions.
