Maras Surname Meaning

User-submitted Reference

It is well documented in Greek history (especially on the Greek independence war against the Ottomans in the 19th century) that many generals of the Greek revolutionary army would attach the moniker "maras" to the first name of valiant soldiers, denoting recklessness, courage and blithe defiance of danger during battle. The word stems from Arvanitika (the dialect spoken by Albanian populations residing in Greece since the Byzantine era) and it means "reckless" or crazy in the sense of impetuousness or impulsiveness. Thus we have mentions of lieutenants called "Fotomaras -the crazy Fotis" or "Kostomaras -the reckless Kostas".
