Onomastics

The name is more commonly found in regions with historical Greek settlement and in communities established abroad through migration.

Etymology and usage

The precise etymology of Lyginamos is not clearly established in standard reference works. The suffix -amos is a recognizable element in Greek toponyms and surnames, but its presence here does not point to a specific meaning on its own. In contemporary use, the term is encountered mainly in local historical records and onomastic studies rather than as a widely recognized national landmark or administrative term.
