'''Soutzos''' or '''Soutsos''' ([[Romanian]]: '''Sutu'''). Greek family from '''Epirus''' originally known by the surname '''Drakos'''.

A family migrated and settled in Constaninople towards the end of the 14th century, but returned home to Epirus after the fall of Constantinople 1453.

By order of the SUltan, the family returned to Constantinople where a member of the family was employed as a “plumber” by the Turkish Authorities. Soon he was known by the nickname “Soutsis”.
It did not take very long for the family to use the nickname as part of the surname (Soutzos-Draco or Draco-Soutsos) and finally change it to Soutsos.

The name changed did not effect the family relatives back in Epirus, they are still known as Drakos today.

The family, now known as Soutsos, grew into prominence and power, resettled in Phanari and joined the [[Phanariots]]. The following centuries, family produced numerous high ranging public servants as well as three Voivodes (Princes) of [[Wallachia]] and or [[Moldavia]] <ref>Byzance apres Byzance, by N. Iorga, Bucarest 1971. Translated by Cianni Kara. Το Βυζαντιο μετα το Βυζαντιο</ref>.
