The history of the last name Tiliakos

The surname "TILIAKOS" has its origins in Greece, tracing back to the late 18th or early 19th century. It is believed to have derived from the Greek word "tilia," which means "linden tree," indicating a possible connection to a place or region known for the abundance of these trees.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name TILIAKOS can be found in the village of Kalamata, located in the Peloponnese region of southern Greece. Historical records from the late 1700s mention a family bearing this surname residing in the area, suggesting that this region may have been the initial point of origin.

In the early 1800s, a man named Ioannis TILIAKOS (1789-1867) was documented as a notable figure in the village of Kalamata. He was a respected landowner and played a significant role in the local community during the Greek War of Independence against the Ottoman Empire.

Another notable individual with the surname TILIAKOS was Georgios TILIAKOS (1829-1901), a merchant and trader who lived in the city of Patras. His business ventures extended throughout the Mediterranean region, and he was known for his philanthropic efforts in supporting education and cultural initiatives in his hometown.

During the late 19th century, a branch of the TILIAKOS family settled in the city of Athens. One of its members, Ekaterini TILIAKOS (1856-1932), gained recognition as a pioneering educator and advocate for women's rights. She established one of the first schools for girls in Athens and worked tirelessly to promote equal educational opportunities.

In the early 20th century, Dimitrios TILIAKOS (1878-1954) made a name for himself as a renowned architect. He was responsible for designing several iconic buildings in Athens and other Greek cities, leaving a lasting impact on the country's architectural landscape.

While the surname TILIAKOS may have originated in the Peloponnese region, over time, it has spread to various parts of Greece and beyond, as individuals bearing this name have migrated and established roots in new locations.
