Prokopiadis Surname Meaning
The Greek surname Prokopiadis (Προκοπιάδης) derives from Prokopios (Προκόπιος) or Prokopis (Προκόπης), combined with the patronymic suffix -iadis/-adis (-ιάδης/-άδης), meaning “descendant of.” Prokopios derives from prokope (προκοπή), meaning “progress,” “advancement,” or “prosperity,” and became an established Greek Christian personal name through several saints. The patronymic ending is especially characteristic of Pontic, Asia Minor, and northern Greek surname traditions. Prokopiadis therefore essentially means “descendant of Prokopios/Prokopis,” preserving an ancestral baptismal name.
