Question

Can anyone tell me anything about my last name besides that its greek? Kergides is my last name?

Answer 1

Well there are an awful lot of you around but no-one seems to know the origin of the name apart from that it's from Greece and there is no English equivalent,  By no means all English surnames have any official designation.

Answer 2

I am unable to find any meaning for your name, but this explanation of how Greek last names were formed might help you understand more.

Most Greek names are patronymic in origin or derive from geographical place names. The most popular Greek name is Pappas, meaning descended from a priest. The following Greek surnames are derived from a religious, or characteristic origin: Kraikos (one who follows God), Xenos (the stranger), Galanis (one with blue eyes) and Psiharis (one who contributes for the good of his soul).
