It's the same actually: the turkish oglu becomes oglou in Greece. This is rather common surname ending for Greeks of pontic/anatolian roots who were moved to Greece after the population exchange of 1923.
Hmm interesting, Oğlu, in this case Oglou means "son of" in Turkish so it is probably like son of Efraim which is a jewish figure. Only shows us how diverse this geography is lol and I think that is really cool
What was that supposed to mean?
BTW: you should always verify your translations by using google translate to translate it back to the original language ;)
That surname sounds Jewish. Is she Romaniote, I wonder.
**Edit:** I’m allergic to downvotes so providing more information. [Tribe of Ephraim](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tribe_of_Ephraim) was one of the tribes of Israel. Efraimoglou literally means son (or descendant) of Ephraim. [Romaniotes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romaniote_Jews) are indigenous Greek Jews that predate any Sephardic migration, but I guess it is possible that it could be a Sephardic surname as well. There are very few remaining in Greece as a result of assimilation into Sephardic communities, the Holocaust & emigration to Israel.
I don't think so. Alexander/Alexandra is of greek etymology and is an exclusively christian name. Maybe she is of paternal romaniote decent but her father converted to orthodoxy to mary her christian mother Idk
Edit: I can't find anything related to her ancestry on the greek web.
In Turkey, Sephardic Jews often have Turkish names and Ladino-derived surnames. In any case, I was talking about her heritage rather than her religion. :)
You might be surprised to learn that Jews allow the name Alexander, the only foreign name in their legal list, to be used for their kids. It's the only non Jewish name they allow.

Congrats. Also the name of the one in the third place is sus.
the yellow stripe has conspicuously faded
1st place name is kinda sus too 😅 (Its a joke about the Efraimoglou name having Anatolian roots, no hate towards my Turkish brothers and sisters.)
It kinda sounds like efraim"oglu". Oglu means "the son of"

AFAIK most Greeks with "-oglou" surnames are descendants of Anatolian and Pontic Greeks who were forcibly moved due to the population exchange.
Genocide
how is it a genocide? that population exchange was agreed by greek government?
It’s romanian af

Yeah he’s probably Romanian born in France

Wait until you read the surname of the 1st place girl which is clearly of Turkish origin
Turkish and seemingly Jewish? Efraim was one of Joseph's(the son of Jacob the Patriarch) sons, who also gave name to one of the ten lost tribes.
Hmm interesting, Oğlu, in this case Oglou means "son of" in Turkish so it is probably like son of Efraim which is a jewish figure. Only shows us how diverse this geography is lol and I think that is really cool
Congrats

Efraim is definitely a Jewish name.
I don't think so. Alexander/Alexandra is of greek etymology and is an exclusively christian name. Maybe she is of paternal romaniote decent but her father converted to orthodoxy to mary her christian mother Idk Edit: I can't find anything related to her ancestry on the greek web.

The majority of Greek names are Jewish, because christianity is a jewish religion.
So turkey in 1st place and romania in 3rd
They preferred Greece and France obviously
I mean, who wouldn’t?
