Saridou Surname Meaning
The Greek surname Saridou (Σαρίδου) is the feminine form of Saridis (Σαρίδης), a patronymic surname ending in -idis (-ίδης), meaning “descendant of.” The root Sari-/Sari- may derive from Ottoman Turkish sarı, meaning “yellow,” “blond,” or “fair-haired,” a common source of descriptive nicknames. Saridis therefore may originally have meant “descendant of Sari/the blond one.” Saridou represents the corresponding feminine hereditary form, particularly compatible with northern Greek and Asia Minor naming traditions.
