Name
[edit]In the late 19th century scholar Ioannis Lambridis wrote the placename as Koukoulioi.[2] The toponym Kouklioi has two possible etymologies. The first is derived from a Greek surname Koukouli, from the word koukouli 'cocoon', a diminutive of the Latin loan cuculla, related to the Greek koukoula.[2] The placename began as a possessive form, stis Koukoulious, and due to the northern Greek phonetics where the unstressed vowel u was dropped, Koukoulious became pronounced as Kouklous.[2] Later, this plural accusative form was eventually reinterpreted as a nominative plural, resulting in the name Kouklioi.[2]
The second stems from Koklou whereby its possessive form stis Koklous and plural forms Kokloi and Kouklioi arose as the o sound narrowed into a u and the l softened near the i (-oi) sound.[2] Koklou is derived from the surname Koklas which stems from the Albanian word kok/ël meaning 'knot, a burl in wood, loop'.[2]
Demographics
[edit]Some Aromanians settled in the village following the interwar period.[3]
