Konstantinos Kanaris (Greek: Κωνσταντίνος Κανάρης, Konstantínos Kanáris; c. 1790[1] – 2 September 1877[2]), also anglicised as Constantine Kanaris or Canaris,[3] was a Greek admiral, Prime Minister, and a hero of the Greek War of Independence.[4]

  2. ^ Note: Greece officially adopted the Gregorian calendar on 16 February 1923 (which became 1 March). All dates prior to that, unless specifically denoted, are Old Style.
  3. ^ Note: Κανάρης has often been romanized as Canaris instead of Kanaris in Western literature before the 20th century. This has since been avoided, following the emergence of a German Canaris family (including Admiral Wilhelm Canaris among its members) with no ties to the Greek Κανάρης family.
