Paraskevaidou Surname Meaning
The Greek surname Paraskevaidou (Παρασκευαΐδου) is the feminine form of Paraskevaidis (Παρασκευαΐδης), a patronymic surname derived from Paraskevas (Παρασκευάς), a name meaning “preparation,” associated with Saint Paraskevi in Greek Orthodox tradition. The suffix -idis (-ίδης) means “son of” or “descendant of,” common in Pontic and Asia Minor naming traditions, and in the feminine form appears as -idou (-ίδου). The surname Paraskevaidou therefore means “female descendant of Paraskevas,” preserving paternal lineage rooted in a Christian personal name.
