[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)

[edit] Add names is Greek and Turkish

I think we should write how Greek Cypriots call themselves (Ελληνοκύπριοι) and also how Turkish Cypriots call them (Kibris Rum). Thus we can link to to the article Rûm. --Kupirijo (talk) 11:15, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Achaeans and Myceaneans

I think mentioning Achaeans and Myceaneans in the same sentence is a bit redundant. They are after all the sane people, I think. --Kupirijo (talk) 11:18, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
