Greek Language

Agios (Template:Lang-el or in polytonic script Ἅγιος; also transliterated as Ayios, Aghios, Hagios) meaning Holy or Sacred or often about people or places named after people, Saint, is equivalent in many cases only to the English-language adjective Saint. For example, St. John is known in Greek and related languages as Άγιος Ιωάννης, Agios Ioannis.

Agios/Ayios/Aghios is a common part in the names of places in Greece and Cyprus.
