Help[Surname] Re: origins & meanings of Tsifutis & Xanthpoulos
in reply to a message by Yannis
Cifut is the Alabanian word for Jewish. The letter C is, like in Turkish, pronounced as TS. In Greek language the word tsAfoutis also has the meaning of Jewish, not in a friendly way. The word tsifoutis sounds like tsigkounis, meaning stingy.
