I was wondering how you
would say this in Greek?
Another example is the
ancient Greek name Mithraboges (Mithrabogos) where its extraction (source, origin) is Persian (Mithra-bauga) but its synthesis (changed form) is Greek.
Almost every country has names like these, names that were originally foreign but which have been completely assimilated by the host country. For example English surnames like Williams and Richardson were originally Norman French (FitzWilliaume and FitzRichard) but nobody thinks of them as being French today. Lombardo and Lombardi derive from the name of an ancient Germanic tribe but are considered very Italian today.
Any help with a Greek translation is appreciated.
Thank you,
Sincerely,
Brian Costello

Kara = Black (turkish)
gioz = eyes (turkish)
meaning the blackeyed guy
Actually the name is definitely Turkish, although the \"concept\" of the Shadow Theatre (Karagiozis) is Greek.

: In Turkish "kara" means "very very black" (if there is any such rendition for the darkest black colour) and "goz" means "eye". Therefore, the rendition MAVROMATIS is the most appropriate in this case.

To onoma "karagiozis" exei riza Turkiki alla o xaraktiras einai Ellinikos
It means that the word "karagiozis" is of Turkish origin but the concept is Greek.
Instead of "xaraktiras" you could also say "synthesi". It's a Greek word
