Stefanopoulou Surname Meaning
The Greek surname Stefanopoulou (Στεφανοπούλου) is the feminine form of Stefanopoulos (Στεφανόπουλος), a patronymic surname formed from Stefanos (Στέφανος) and the suffix -opoulos (-όπουλος), meaning “descendant of.” Stefanos derives from ancient Greek stephanos (στέφανος), meaning “crown,” “wreath,” or “garland,” and became a major Christian name through Saint Stephen. Stefanopoulou therefore means “female descendant of Stefanos,” with the -opoulos formation particularly characteristic of the Peloponnese.
