The word souvlaki is a diminutive of the Medieval Greek souvla (σούβλα meaning "skewer") itself borrowed from Latin subula. [2] [3] "Souvlaki" is the common term in Macedonia and other regions of northern Greece, while in southern Greece and around Athens it is commonly known [citation needed] as kalamaki (καλαμάκι meaning "small reed").
Around the same time, the Greek word gyros replaced döner kebab, and the Greek style of the dish spread to become popular, particularly in North America, and various other parts of the world. [17] In contrast to other areas of Greece, in Athens, both types of sandwich may be called souvlaki, with the skewered meat being called kalamaki.
The name comes from the Greek γύρος (gyros, 'circle' or 'turn').It is a calque of the Turkish döner, from dönmek, also meaning "turn". [7]In Athens and other parts of southern Greece, the skewered meat dish elsewhere called souvlaki is known as kalamaki, while souvlaki is a term used generally for gyros, and similar dishes.
Common street foods include souvlaki, gyros, various pitas and roast corn. [36] Fast food became popular in the 1970s, with some chains, such as Goody's and McDonald's serving international food like hamburgers, [37] and others serving Greek foods such as souvlaki, gyros, tiropita, and spanakopita.
