Papadopoulos


Explanation:
Well, that's the corrected spelling of the name, as some have already mentioned.
Did you want to know anything else about it?

"Papadopoulos
Greek: patronymic meaning ‘son of the priest’, from papas ‘priest’ + the patronymic ending -poulos, an ending that occurs mainly in the Peloponnese, derived from Latin pullus ‘nestling’, ‘chick’. Greek Orthodox priests, unlike their Roman Catholic counterparts, were allowed to marry and have children. This is the commonest surname in Greece.
Dictionary of American Family Names, Oxford University Press, ISBN 0-19-508137-4"

In fact, the surname is so common in Greece there is an old comedy film called a "Boat full of Papadopouloses" (1966)
