His work in the field of philosophy and his contributions to the intellectual discourse of that era have been recognized by scholars.

During the 16th century, a Church of Lambrinos is recorded in the village of Maroulas, located in the Peloponnese region of Greece. This could indicate that the name was associated with a particular family or clan that held some influence or significance in that area.
