Greek name?

Im looking for someone and all i have as a vague clue what his last name could be: something with "Karakou" or similair. Anyone familiair with Greek last names that could provide me with possible names?

Greek name?
I've heard of this surname before but then again it could be anything...The prefix Kara- indicates a turkish origin (kara means black in turkish btw) and it's a very common prefix in Greek surnames so it doesn't really help much...Also the ending -kou is very popular, especially in Cypriot male surnames, but there are numeous combinations for what's in between the two, if you know what I mean. One possible similar-sounding surname I can think of is Kiriakou or Kyriakou, which is quite common in Greece. I don't know if that helps. As I said, it could be anything, but Karakou as it is, sounds perfectly fine to me.

You can also play with the "sound alike" index on the Ellis Island website to get the full idea of Greek names that sound like it. http://www.ellisisland.org
