I found some more info on Sgroi,  Sgurós, sguros, etc -  apparently there was a guy named "Leon Sguros" from the byzantine empire which I beleive is modern day turkey.  Tthere has been soem mix ups on whether sgurós is Greek or T]urkish but its seems more than likely to be Greek.  I also kept seeing info that says "Sgurós" mean culry hair.  It's important to note that "Leon Sguros" is not spelled with a  accent mark above the "O". which may have confuse matters.  Also, the full prhase "Basíleios Sgurós", "Basíleios" also appears to be some kind of ruler from back then, so who came first:  the pepole or  the word?  

Ii read a webpage that describes how over time the combination of  letters "os" was replaced by "oi"  .I found most of this out  by typing in "sgroi" or "Basíleios Sgurós" into diffrent search engines.  I had to translate a lot of pages.  I'm going to check and see if there is a greek language teacher at my collge. I'll keep you up to date.
