Papadopoli has a stock of Ururi in Molise and San Severo in the Foggia area, and one in San Giorgio Ionico in the Taranto area, Pappadopoli, much rarer, has a small stock in the Gargano and one in Mola di Bari in the Bari area. additions provided by Stefano Ferrazzi Of Greek origin or, perhaps, Albanian, the surnames Papadopoli and Pappadopoli arise from different Italianizations of the Greek surname Papadopoulos, which, composed of the root papas (the priest of the Orthodox Church) and the suffix -opoulos (which in the Greek surnames has the value of belonging), can be translated as a priest's son: unlike Catholic priests, in fact, it should be remembered that Orthodox priests have the opportunity to marry and have children, so as to be the actual founders of these families (this also explains the last names Papangelo, Papandrea, Papaluca, Papaleo, etc, mostly present in southern Italy); for information, it should also be noted that Papadopoulos is the most widespread surname in Greece and, as is easy to guess, this fact is well justified in the orthodox culture of the Greek people (if we consider the peculiarity of ecclesiastical practice with regard to the establishment of marriage).
