Name Translation
by Guest User - Tuesday, 29 May 2007, 07:11 PM
  Hello all,

just wondered if anyone could help me by translating Andrew into greek for me? I asked someone to do it when i was on holiday in corfu, but managed to lose the piece of paper!

Thanks in advance,

Andrew

  It's "Andreas", which I've seen written in Greek
both as "Ανδρέας" and as "Αντρέας".

Google finds about 900000 hits for the former,
and still about 270000 hits for the latter smile

btw., hello, namesake!

  And your last name / surname in Greek would be: σπουργίτης (spourgitis).

It kinda works that you have such a translatable last name! If I heard "Andreas Spouryitis" I would think "that's a Greek person!"
