Here's something I noticed about the name of one of Korais' Uncles;
A history of modern Greek literature, By Kōnstantinos Dēmaras
Veligradios??? Veligrad is a placename for such countries as Bulgaria, Montenegro, etc. I notice that his Uncle is also a bishop. That means he was educated by the only means he could be educated. In romaika. Veligrad was most likely from one of these Veligrad's.
Korais' father was a merchant born in Chios. His mothers name is a very common name amongst many Albanians as well as what became todays grk. I imagine Orthodox Vlachs had this name as well.
