Agreed. Great surname - and beautiful, if most appropriate, National Anthem. :D

A very handsome young man who should go far, especially if he carries on driving so fast! :)

Congratulations to Tio, and another great Cypriot sporting achievement.

As for his surname, it's not unusual for Cypriots to have a surname that reflects an ancestor from foreign lands.

Yes, it usually signifies that the father-head at the time a surname had to be registered (probably in the 50's) originated from that place. (For example, Theo Paphitis)

No it doesn’t, they’re only nick names! In those days someone could’ve returned from a rare holiday to the US boasting sunglasses and he could’ve automatically been branded an American as a joke which would then stick for life!

My granddad got a black eye in a fight when young so he was nicknamed “mavromaddis” (black eye) which stayed with him till his end. So no, he was not a Caribbean pirate and none of us kept that name. :lol:
