is by far the most common
Also

Dimitriades
Konstantinides

Papadakis

Are fairly comon last names.
I have no favorites other my own. However names like

Komninos
Laskaris
Palaiologos
Kapodistrias
Melas
etc

carry so much history that sound great.

The most common Greek surname is Papadopoulos (螤伪蟺伪未蠈蟺慰蠀位慰蟼). Female form: Papadopoulou (螤伪蟺伪未慰蟺慰蠉位慰蠀) 螒ll Greek surnames, like the Russian ones, have a male and a female form.
A surnname that I like is Komninos (螝慰渭谓畏谓蠈蟼) fem. Komnini (螝慰渭谓畏谓萎) because it reminds me of a Byzantine dynasty!

Grigoriadis
Dimitriadis

Niarxos, Onassis, Latsis, Laimos , Potamianos, Tsakos,

Patatopoulos, Ioannidis, Georgiadis, Karamanlis, Papandreou, Karatzaferis, Karantanos, Mpakodimou
