How to Say "Names" in Greek - How To Say Guide

ονόματα

The English phrase 'names' is translated into Greek as ονόματα.

How does it change in a sentence?

ονόματα is the neuter plural form of the noun όνομα. If you want to say 'of names', use the genitive plural form ονομάτων.

In Greek Orthodox tradition, a person's όνομα is not just a label but a spiritual identity, often chosen because they are the 'name-day' celebrant of a specific saint.
The word όνομα is the ancestor of the English word 'onomatopoeia', which literally means 'the making of a name' or 'naming a sound'.
In Greece, the most common way to introduce yourself is by saying με λένε, which literally means 'they call me' rather than 'my name is'.
