Emmanouil Pappas
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Emmanouil Pappas (Εμμανουήλ Παππάς) is a municipality in the Serres Prefecture, Greece. Population 11,789 (2001). The seat of the municipality is in Chryso.
The municipality takes its name after a local historical figure who played an important part as a leader in the war of the Greek revolution against Ottoman rule. Sadly, he met his demise before freedom was attained.
Emmanouil Pappas was born in the village that was previously called 'Dovista', probably of Slavic origin, though historians are uncertain of the exact root of that word. One conjecture involves the mispronunciation of the latin 'Dove est', meaning 'where is it?', because, apparently, the village was undetectable from a distance.
