PriaposLovs and Nanaea

My paternal grandfather changed his name from Kreptconovich (I think), but I can't ask him because he died a number of years ago. It translates to "son of Krepkoi", which I found out Krepkoi translates into "strong" or "strength" (I forget which :D (shrug) ).
PriaposLovs, my middle name comes from Middle English and means "spirit" which is why I sometimes sign with the Gaelic phrase "Sidhe Uaine" (pronounced "she oohana" with the double-o pronounced like in "school"), but Gaia Euphoria sounds just as nice. (Nanaea , if you're still interested, I haven't stopped trying to get your middle name translated into Gaelic.)

Phyllis (Sidhe Uaine)

PS PriaposLovs, by the way, besides dryads, what other tree spirits are there in Greek mythology? I know the dryads were the spirits of the oaks, but I thought there were other tree spirits, like for the olive trees and such. Could you help me here? Thanks
