Revision as of 08:18, 27 March 2022 by Shhhnotsoloud (talk | contribs) (Clean up)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff) For the plural of Italian-derived "agio", see Agio.

Agios (Template:Lang-el), plural Agioi (Άγιοι), transcribes masculine gender Greek words meaning "sacred" or "saint" (for example Agios Dimitrios, Agioi Anargyroi). It is frequently shortened in colloquial language to Ai (for example Ai Stratis). In polytonic script it is written Hagios (Ἅγιος) (for example Hagios Demetrios). It is also transliterated as, inter alia, Haghios, Ayios, Aghios (for example Ayios Dhometios, Aghios Andreas Beach, respectively) in the singular form, and Haghioi, Ayioi, Aghioi, Ayii in the plural (for example Ayioi Omoloyites, Nicosia, Aghioi Theodoroi, Ayii Trimithias respectively).
