Meaning & History

Means "son of the exarch", from Greek ἔξαρχος (éxarchos) combined with the patronymic suffix πουλος (poulos). The word exarch historically refers to a military governor of a distant province within the Byzantine Empire (nowadays it is used in Eastern Christian Churches to denote a deputy of a patriarch, or a bishop ranking below a patriarch and above a metropolitan bishop). A famous bearer of this name is the French actress Adèle Exarchopoulos (1993-).
