Hi Maria

Stratakos has the typical maniot/laconian ending of -akos and is mainly found in the area of Skala Lakonias in Peloponnese.Jim is right when he says that it is a diminutive of Stratos.However Stratos is also the diminutive of Efstratios.

Stratos is a Greek male forename, Stratakos could be a diminutive, or possibly -akos is a surname ending. The literal meaning of Stratos is "army", but it might be part of a longer name, I don't know.

Stratakos is a Greek name. The name ending "akos" is common throughout Greece especially in the Western Peloponese and the Ioanian Islands. The name ending is thought to be of Italian influence.
