Kokkoris

Kokkoris is a Greek surname. It is relatively uncommon and its origins are generally attributed to variations in spelling or pronunciation of other, more common Greek surnames. The name likely originated from a nickname or descriptive name, although the precise root meaning is difficult to ascertain without more detailed genealogical information on specific families bearing the name. Some possible etymological connections include words related to eggs ("kokko," relating to the sound a chicken makes), or other bird-related terms. Without further context or knowledge of the bearer's ancestors, the exact meaning remains speculative. Distribution of the surname is predominantly within Greece and among the Greek diaspora.
