Rekalidis Surname Meaning
The Greek surname Rekalidis (Ρεκαλίδης) is a patronymic surname ending in -idis (-ίδης), meaning “descendant of.” The Rekal-/Rekal- root likely represents an ancestral personal name or nickname and may preserve Pontic, Asia Minor, Slavic, Armenian, or Ottoman-era influence. It is not transparent in standard modern Greek. Rekalidis therefore essentially means “descendant of Rekalis/Rekal,” with the -idis formation particularly characteristic of Pontic, Asia Minor, Macedonian, and northern Greek surname traditions.
