Contains links to sites identified as specifically dealing with (Greek) Cypriot family names and family history. The development of a separate Cypriot national identity in the modern era is relatively recent and still controversial, and historically most Cypriots identify themselves as either of Greek or of Turkish background.
General Disclaimer: The 1974 division of Cyprus into southern ("Greek") and northern ("Turkish") parts is not recognized by the United States Government, which continues to recognize the (predominantly Greek) Republic of Cyprus as the sole legitimate government for the entire island. Inclusion here of sites from or about the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus does not imply recognition by the United States or the Library of Congress.
