Re: GraecoJewish surnames and JudeoGreek surnames...
"Good name" is also related to "Geronimo" and, in a way, to "Benedict"... I guess its indeed a diffcult goal.

I've remembered the Greek-Jewish surname - it's Capsali, from a place in Greece called (I think) Cape Capsali.

I think you mean Kapsali as the placename (see tinyurl.com/m83epcw). The surname Kapsali has a different origin according to the information at tinyurl.com/m44c3fo.
