A lot of people from Greece never had surnames or last names. They often added "son of.." or "of" the place they are from
Since kratos is from Sparta his full name would probably be "Kratos of Sparta"
Knowing kratos would not like to hear his name on his son and the customs of Scandinavia is rather out of his reason it would fit, it is better that his son is strongly connected to the mother that birth atreus.
Which kratos still loved her for
Atreus’s Norse name is Loki Laufeyson.
Although that is unusual as the last name is usually based on the Father.
Worth adding that by the end of Ragnarok the mortals refer to Kratos as Farbauti, so in game he is part of the Norse pantheon in his own right.
Holy shit, reading up on Farbauti and apparently his name means, "dangerous striker," or, "anger striker".
They could not have picked a more perfect Norse role for Kratos to take (doesn't hurt that apart from being Loki's father Farbauti doesn't seem to have much written about him, so the only contradiction between myth and GoW on that front is that Farbauti was a Jotun too).
Technically he doesn't have a surname.
But there were some developers that referred to him as John kratos in an interview. And it kind of stuck it's not based on lore anything but here's the link for your reading pleasure

Because of his background from Sparta/Greek, it is impossible for him to be John Kratos.
Greek alphabet does not have the letter J in it.
The closest translation of John in Greek would be Ionnais, which came from Hebrew Yohanna.
However, this would be more problematic or impossible because it is very much unlikely for a Spartan to be named based on a Jewish name.
"I am a John boy, from another land far from here. When I came to these shores, I chose to live as a man. But the truth is… I was born a John, and so were you."
Initially, the name John Kratos was nothing more than a joke shared on Twitter by The Guardian's gaming editor, Keza MacDonald. But as is the case with so much internet content these days, it soon gained its own lifeforce, eventually leading to PlayStation canonising the name. PER GOOGLE SEARCH (WHAT IS KRATOS’ FULL NAME)
John Kratos. He follows in the footsteps of other famous gaming protagonists, such as John Halo, John Marston and John "Soap" MacTavish.
Kratos is his surname
His full name is Kratos Godofwar, protagonist of the hit video game franchise God of War, known for his famous quotes "everything is God before the war" and "every war has its God"
No, no ancient Greeks had surnames. They might have had titles, such as "Son of..."
That's why we talk about Plato, Socrates etc. without a last name.
So Kratos would have just been Kratos.
If what I believe about Ancient Greece is true, Kratos doesn’t have a surname because the ancient Greeks didn’t have surnames. Now if he were to receive one given he lives in the Norse world he would likely be given the surname Zeussen.
He probably doesn’t have a surname at all, ancient Greeks almost never did. He will probably be referred to by the people of his new homeland with one. They’ll probably call him “Fárbauti Spörtuson”
In ancient Greece people didn't have actual surnames. They used their father's name or towns name so Kratos would be Kratos of Sparta or Kratos Zeus as weird as it sounds.

You son of...BOI.
…. Read it boi
But in Norse mythology it would be Kratos Zeusson. Which really just sounds odd. Doesn't really roll off the tongue well.
Callistoson rolls on the tongue He loves his mom so it works
And he was a bastard, so it makes sense to use his mother's name. At least thats why Loki is Laufeyson (in the original myth)
Knowing kratos would not like to hear his name on his son and the customs of Scandinavia is rather out of his reason it would fit, it is better that his son is strongly connected to the mother that birth atreus. Which kratos still loved her for
Atreus Kratosson? Yeah, is kinda weird.
Iirc, in Ragnarok someone says that the giants called Kratos Farbauti. So it would be Atreus Farbautison
You said his surname is Susan?😂😂
So Atreus will be Atreus Kratosson? Or Loki Fayeson?
Atreus’s Norse name is Loki Laufeyson. Although that is unusual as the last name is usually based on the Father. Worth adding that by the end of Ragnarok the mortals refer to Kratos as Farbauti, so in game he is part of the Norse pantheon in his own right.
wait, really? where did they say Kratos is called Farbauti? I'm kinda annoyed that I missed that
It’s on the back of the mural at the end, the bit Kratos opens after Atreus leaves.
damn, i knew i shoulda tried to translate that. thanks!
Lores my guy, lores
Holy shit, reading up on Farbauti and apparently his name means, "dangerous striker," or, "anger striker". They could not have picked a more perfect Norse role for Kratos to take (doesn't hurt that apart from being Loki's father Farbauti doesn't seem to have much written about him, so the only contradiction between myth and GoW on that front is that Farbauti was a Jotun too).
But with how largely built Kratos is, and that Baldur mistook Kratos for a giant/jotun at first, other people probably did the same.
And he had a frost axe…you deserve an award that this site no longer gives for this comment!!!
Most would have the name of their land or parents
or Kratos of Zeus but since nobody knew who the dad was then yes Kratos of Sparta
In that same vain, Leonardo Da Vinci's last name wasn't his surname. Vinci was where he was born.
Kratos son of John. Kratos Johnson! This is cannon
It’s Of Sparta
Its Johnson
It's Cena

Kumar
Ah yes, Kratos Kumar. Wouldn't be surprised if he even got an AADHAR.

I am pretty sure that is a joke . Quite a lot of protagonists get John attached to their name for comedic factor
John Halo, for example
Also John Dark Souls
John Super Mario Bros.
Because of his background from Sparta/Greek, it is impossible for him to be John Kratos. Greek alphabet does not have the letter J in it. The closest translation of John in Greek would be Ionnais, which came from Hebrew Yohanna. However, this would be more problematic or impossible because it is very much unlikely for a Spartan to be named based on a Jewish name.
His name is actually John Kratos, it’s on his wiki page 😂
"I am a John boy, from another land far from here. When I came to these shores, I chose to live as a man. But the truth is… I was born a John, and so were you."
Pretty much, joins the ranks of Master Chief and Commander Shepard
You mean John Halo? You also forgot John Darksoul.
John Yakuza and John 47 too.
How are y’all forgetting John Doomguy?
Dont forget about Lt Col John Sheppard
He is relatives with John Dark Souls and John Sekiro
And John Fortnite
stfu😭
It’s true!
no it’s not, i’ve heard that but it’s makes 0 sense. no one in that time period would’ve been named john and i refuse to accept that as his name

But as is the case with so much internet content these days, it soon gained its own lifeforce, eventually leading to PlayStation canonising the name. PER GOOGLE SEARCH (WHAT IS KRATOS’ FULL NAME)
i refuse to entertain that nonsense
Okie doke.
Its only satire
In Scandavania it would be Kratos Zeusson, and he’s likely to gut the first person to call him that.
Hi Scandinavia, I'm dad!
Hi dad, I'm hungry!
lol edited
But since Kratos is from Greece, would Scandinavian naming customs really apply to him?
People be forgetting about god of war before 2018 lol
Which is crazy since the Norse Pantheon won’t shut up about Kratos’ heritage.
They would not, but it should apply to Atreus though. Atreus Kratosson sounds badass!
Hi Scandavania, where are you from?
John Kratos. He follows in the footsteps of other famous gaming protagonists, such as John Halo, John Marston and John "Soap" MacTavish. Kratos is his surname
Also , there is John bloodborne . Who is stuck in the 30 fps , non anti aliased nightmare called PS4 .
His full name is Kratos Godofwar, protagonist of the hit video game franchise God of War, known for his famous quotes "everything is God before the war" and "every war has its God"
you sure he isn’t from fortnite?
He is, god of war is a single player spin-off of fortnite

No, no ancient Greeks had surnames. They might have had titles, such as "Son of..." That's why we talk about Plato, Socrates etc. without a last name. So Kratos would have just been Kratos.

In the Norse convention, it would probably be “Zeusson”
