Sotir Family History

Romanian and Albanian: from the personal name Sotir of Greek origin (see Soter). In North America this surname is probably also an altered form of the much more common Albanian variant Sotiri based on the definite form of the personal name.

American shortened form of Greek patronymics such as Sotirakis, Sotirakos, Sotiriou, and Sotiropoulos derived from the personal name Sotiri(o)s (see Soter).
