Karyes (Greek: Καρυές, before 1927: Μογγλιούς, Monglious)[1][2] is a settlement in the Ioannina regional unit, Epirus, Greece.
Name
In the late 19th century, the scholar Ioannis Lambridis rendered the placename as Monglioi and described it as a 'cloudy place'.[3] The toponym is a proper noun derived from the patronymic or andronymic Moungouliou.[4] It originated from the Greek feminine prepositional phrase sts muŋgl'us (stis Moungoulious), which was interpreted as the masculine plural accusative stous Moungoulious, eventually becoming the nominative form Monglioi.[4]
The name Moungouliou is formed from the surname Moungoulis and the suffix -ou.[4] This surname is either derived from Moungos and the diminutive suffix -oulis, or from Megoulis, stemming from the Albanian word mjegull/ë, -a meaning 'fog', where 'e' shifted to u' due to labialisation caused by the preceding m sound.[4]
