Seitanidou Surname Meaning
The Greek surname Seitanidou (Σεϊτανίδου or Σεϊτανίδου) is the feminine form of Seitanidis (Σεϊτανίδης), derived from Seitanis or seitan, from Ottoman Turkish şeytan, ultimately Arabic shayṭān, meaning “devil” or “demon,” combined with the patronymic suffix -idis (-ίδης). Such a root would generally have originated as a colorful nickname describing someone considered mischievous, fierce, clever, troublesome, or unusually energetic rather than expressing literal religious identification. The -idis ending is particularly associated with Asia Minor, Pontic, Macedonian, and northern Greek families. Seitanidou is the corresponding feminine hereditary form.
