Konnos is from ancient Greece. He was someone one of the Socrates teacher. He teached him music! He was one of the most famous guitar players in Athens on 5th century BC. He lived in poverty and we even have an ancient saying from him because he lived like that. And he participates in the Olympics with success!

True....is like Constantinos. Because sometimes they use to write their name like Con/nos...
I remembered a class mate from High school that we call him like that!

Gigi in Cypriot it could also mean bad earth or soil which is not good to build on as it seems to move from the rain.

I'm afraid you're all wrong...

"Konos" is just "Sonok" spelled backwards! 8)
