Greek Cypriot name
Greek Cypriots may bear common Greek surnames, but there are some which are markedly Cypriot; there are some names which indicate place of birth or origin, or occupation, for example: Παφίτης (Paphitis), "from Paphos"; Καϊμακλιώτης (Kaimakliotis), "from Kaimakli"; Σκαρπάρης (Skarparis), "shoemaker"; Κωμοδρόμος (Komodromos), "smith". As most Cypriots used patronymics until independence when surnames became officially used in public registers, a similar process of creation of surnames took place to that of other Greek-speaking populations outside Greece, e.g. the Pontians. A good example would be Ευσταθιάδης (Efstathiades).
