Rekanou Surname Meaning

The Greek surname Rekanou (Ρεκανού) is the genitive or feminine form of an ancestral surname such as Rekanos. The Rekan-/Recan- root is not transparent in standard modern Greek and may preserve Albanian, Aromanian, Italian, Slavic, Ottoman Turkish, or other regional influence. It may originally have represented a personal name, geographic designation, occupation, or descriptive nickname. Rekanou therefore represents the corresponding feminine or family form of an ancestral Rekanos-type surname whose precise etymology requires regional and historical evidence.
