Petrakopoulou Surname Meaning
The Greek surname Petrakopoulou (Πετρακοπούλου) is the feminine form of Petrakopoulos (Πετρακόπουλος), a patronymic surname formed from Petrakos (Πετράκος), a familiar or diminutive form of Petros (Πέτρος), and the suffix -opoulos (-όπουλος), meaning “descendant of.” Petros derives from petra (πέτρα), meaning “rock” or “stone,” and became one of the major Christian personal names through Saint Peter. Petrakopoulos therefore essentially means “descendant of Petrakos/Petros,” while Petrakopoulou represents the corresponding feminine hereditary form.
