Dear Greek Prozians,

Many names of the sea fish come directly from Greek but unfortunately there is no source in Turkish about the meanings of the original words.
Some examples are

istavrit / stavridi (savridi)/ horse mackerel
izmarit / smaridi (marida) / piceral-pickarel
I'd realy apreciate if someone could forward me to an useful source. I can find the Greek names of these fish, that's not a problem. The problem is that I also want to find the meaning of these Greek words.
Many thank in advance
