ArchivesVagenos?
Does anyone know anything about the surname Vagenos? The person I know with this name is Caucasian, possibly with some Greek ancestors.
Note to self: You are in Serel's and Rachel Shay's congrats and are running one of your own, as well as running HCCYB. Do try to keep up.

If it's Greek the spelling is problematic. A letter G followed by an E or an I is pronounced like an English Y in Greek. So the -GE- sequence and the -GI- tend to be spelt with a Y in Roman script. So I would expect to see Vayenos.
There is a Greek word vayéni, which means a barrel or cask, for holding wine I think. Perhaps Vayenos, if that's how the name would be pronounced, means a maker of such containers.
Only a guess.
