[edit] Legacy

One interesting legacy is that many Greek Cypriots adopted the Muslim title of "Hadji" (bestowed upon
Muslims who have completed the hajj to Makkah) to indicate that they had completed a pilgrimage to
a significant Christian religious site. Hence, many Greek Cypriot surnames begin with "Hadji-,"

this is not a cypriot characteristic, it is common in all greek speaking areas. Mavros 15:02, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
