Papas Family History
Papas Name Meaning
Greek: status name from papas ‘priest’ or a (usually American) shortened form of any of numerous Greek patronymics beginning with Papa- (see e.g. Papageorgiou compare Papa ). In the Orthodox Church priests are allowed to marry and have children so there is nothing unusual about this term having become a surname. Compare Pappas .
