Seferoglou Surname Meaning
The Greek surname Seferoglou (Σεφερόγλου) is a patronymic surname formed from Seferis or Seferos, a personal name or nickname likely derived from Turkish sefer, meaning “journey,” “expedition,” or “campaign,” combined with the suffix -oglou (-όγλου), meaning “son of” or “descendant of.” This suffix is characteristic of Greek surnames from Asia Minor and Pontic regions. The surname Seferoglou therefore means “son or descendant of Seferis,” preserving paternal lineage rooted in a name associated with travel or campaigns.
