What is Johnson in Greek?

There isn't a direct, perfect translation of "Johnson" into Greek. This is because Greek doesn't have last names that work the same way as English.

However, you could try a couple of approaches:

1. Focus on the meaning of "Johnson":

* "Son of John": This is the literal meaning of the name. In Greek, it would be "Υιός του Ιωάννη" (Yiós tou Ioánni).

* "John's son": This is another way to express the same meaning. In Greek, it would be "Γιος του Ιωάννη" (Gios tou Ioánni).

2. Use a similar-sounding Greek name:

* "Ιωάννης" (Ioánnis) or "Γιάννης" (Giánnis) are the most common Greek names for John.

3. Transliterate "Johnson" directly:

* "Τζόνσον" (Tzónsom) is the closest transliteration of "Johnson" into Greek. This is not a common name, but it's a straightforward translation.

Ultimately, the best approach depends on the context. If you're trying to convey the meaning of the name, then using "Yiós tou Ioánni" or "Gios tou Ioánni" is the most accurate. If you want a name that sounds Greek, then "Ioánnis" or "Giánnis" would be a good choice.
