About the prefix Dela-, I noticed this term is also found in another greek last name, which is Delapatridis. According to some internet sources, Delapatridis is a greek last name that comes from italian Della Patria, literally meaning 'of the homeland' - Della Patria is also an italian last name, though it is very rare in Italy today.
If Delagrammatikas came from Italy too, the prefix Dela- would then mean 'of the' - it is 'della' in italian ('di' + 'la').
