Surname list

Voulgaris, also transliterated as Bulgaris, is a Greek surname meaning Bulgarian. Per Stefanos Voulgaris, who printed in 2016 the "Family chronicles the Voulgaris family", a genealogical book written in Venetian Corfu, which cites a 15th-century testament of Stefanos Voulgaris claiming that the founding fathers of the family were Stefan Eleazar and Tervel, who were "kings of the Triballi". In these family chronicles the author claims Bulgarian royal roots and connects the roots of the "Voulgaris family of Saint Spyridon of Corfu" to the "barbarian peoples" from Volga river, who "finally settled in Moesia near the Haemus mountains". After all, in his escape to the southwest, it was the Serbian despot Stefan Lazarevic who was singled out as the founder of the Bulgari family from Corfu. Through the Peloponnese, he headed to Morea and from there settled on the Ottoman-free Ionian island.
