That is, a list of the names of places as they exist in the Greek language. This list includes: Places that have or had important Greek-speaking or ethnic Greek minorities or exile communitiesPlaces of concern to Greek culture, religion or tradition, including: Places whose official names include a Greek form.Places whose names originate from the Greek language, even if they were never involved in Greek history or culture. lthough this list includes toponyms from Roman times, this list does not include later wholly Latin-derived names that have (nor had) no Greek linguistic involvement, involvement with the Greek world, nor significant Greek-speaking communities.

Indeed, many toponyms in Modern Greek now have different names than were used in by Greek-speaking communities in the past. An example is Malta, which was called (Melit ) and was once home to a Greek-speaking community. However, this community is gone or assimilated, and the common Modern Greek name is (Malta, from Maltese). However, in other cases, M
