Re: Help with a name
in reply to a message by margi
Any chance of a transliteration into roman letters, Leslie. It looks like there are nine letters in the original Greek. I'm guessing that means MP for the B sound. So Mpetzilos? Mpetsilos? Mpetzélos? Or...?
I've tried googling various permutations of the Greek letters without a hit. Are the diacritical marks essential? That would increase the possibilities even further.

It is Mpitzelos: Mu, Pi, Iota, Tau, Zeta, Eta, Lamda, Omikron, Sigma.
Hope this helps!

Thanks, at least I can find examples of the name now, though I've still no idea of the meaning.
