Spyroglou Surname Meaning
The Greek surname Spyroglou (Σπυρόγλου) is a patronymic surname formed from Spyros (Σπύρος), a common Greek personal name associated with Saint Spyridon, combined with the suffix -oglou (-όγλου), meaning “son of” or “descendant of,” derived from Turkish oğl(u). This suffix is characteristic of Asia Minor and Pontic Greek naming traditions. The surname Spyroglou therefore means “son or descendant of Spyros,” preserving paternal lineage rooted in a Christian personal name.
