Help[Surname] Wild speculations on Dellas and Venizelos
in reply to a message by Sagani
Some very wild speculations:
Dellas could be related to the classical Greek "dellei", meaning "to call, to summon". But I wouldnt wage money on this :)
Venizelos (name of a great Greek statesman) is spelled Benizelos in Greek. This has led to speculation that the name could have been derived from "Ben" (son of) and some unknown-to-me Hebrew name that sounds like "Zelo". Again, I would certainly not stake my reputation on this!
