[Γεωργιος Ζαραφίδης]

Thanks for welcoming me Martin.

You stand correct at your point. The letter-to-letter transcription is
correct, but most English user find Georgios (I am also called Giorgos)
confusing, so I use the Roman name George, which has Greek origin (Γεωργός)
and it means Farmer.

Giorgos AKA George Zarafidis
