mama = mom
baba = dad
materas = mother
pateras = father (also minister)
nouna = godmother
nouno = godfather
theio = uncle
theia = aunt
tiri = cheese
kefalo = head
pedia (spelling is off) = child
ti = what
kai = and
kalo = good
efkaristo = thank you
saparakalo = please (not sure of exact spelling)
Panayiota = Toula
Theodoros =Ted
Eleni = Helen
Yota = Yota (LOL)
Andreas = Andrew
Costandinos = Costa (Gus)
Evengia =Jenny
Giorgo = George
Anna = Anna
Vangelis = Angelo
Giorgia = Georgia
Giannis = Joanna
Panayioti = Peter
Katina = Kathy
Spiros = none translates
Pitsa = none translates
Patoula = sometimes can be Patricia
Charlambaros (Lamby) =Charles
Venetia = Vanessa
Poppy (pronounce POH-py) = Poppy
I can't think of anymore right now
Most are very similar- however my name "Cheryl" doesn't translate into Greek as there isn't a "C" in the Greek alphabet so my Baptised name is Anna. Hope this helps. I am not versed too well in the Greek language but if you are stuck feel free to email cheryl16k @hotmail.com may take a caouple days, but I'll get and answer if I can.

Most Greek men and woman are named after saints, and they also celebrate something called "Name Day" which is actually their Saint's day.
