Answer 3

I've heard of this surname before but then again it could be anything...The prefix Kara- indicates a turkish origin (kara means black in turkish btw) and it's a very common prefix in Greek surnames so it doesn't really help much...Also the ending -kou is very popular, especially in Cypriot male surnames, but there are numeous combinations for what's in between the two, if you know what I mean. One possible similar-sounding surname I can think of is Kiriakou or Kyriakou, which is quite common in Greece. I don't know if that helps. As I said, it could be anything, but Karakou as it is, sounds perfectly fine to me.
