drosos

Drosos is a surname of Greek origin. It is derived from the Greek word "drosos" (δρόσος), which means "dew." The surname likely originated as a nickname for someone who lived in a damp or dewy place, or perhaps for someone with a fresh or pure disposition. While not one of the most common Greek surnames, it is found among Greek diaspora communities and within Greece itself. Variations in spelling may exist due to transliteration from Greek to Latin alphabets. The etymology of the name connects it to natural phenomena, a common source for ancient surnames. The prevalence of the surname can be traced through historical records and demographic studies of Greek populations.
