I recently found out my grandmother’s maiden name was Δελί
In Greek, the word “deli” described someone who was:
• fearless
• wild
• a daredevil
• a little crazy in a brave way
Someone who fought without fear.
“Deliler” “the fearless ones.”
were known for charging into battle first

Αλεξάκος
On the other side of my family, the name Αλεξάκος (Alexakos) traces back to villages near Tripoli in Arcadia
The name comes from Alexandros, meaning “defender of men.”
Fearless ones.
Defenders.
Finding those names in my family story honestly feels powerful.
Today the battlefield looks different.
But the fight for truth, freedom, and sovereignty continues.
