Nafpliotis is a Greek surname that appears to be derived from the name of the city of Nafplio (Ναύπλιο), located in the Peloponnese region of Greece. In Greek onomastics, the suffix -otis (Greek: ‑ώτης) commonly denotes origin or association, meaning “one from” or “native of” a particular place. Consequently, the name Nafpliotis can be interpreted as “a person from Nafplio.”
