greker

Greker is a term with several possible meanings, though it is not widely used in modern English. The standard demonym for a person from Greece is Greek, and Greker appears mainly in historical texts or as a dialectal or translational variant in other languages.

Demonym usage: In some languages, Greker has been used as an exonym for a Greek person or for things Greek. Such usage is rare today and is often regarded as archaic or specialized. In contemporary English contexts, Greek is the preferred term.

Surname usage: Greker can function as a surname. It is uncommon, and there is no widely cited list of notable individuals bearing the name in major reference works.

Other uses: On rare occasions Greker may appear as a place name, brand, or fictional character in localized contexts, but these uses are not widely documented or standardized.

Etymology and related terms: The form is linked to the same root as Greece and Greek, and many languages render the ethnonym in their own exonyms. Related terms in various languages are distinct and often not directly interchangeable with the English "Greek."
