on greek islands live several kinds of animals and goat are one of them. The greek word for goat is "KATSIKA" and "ERIFI" in slang and "ERIFION" in pure language. So -probably-the origin of the the name SERIFOS is derived from the big number of goats who lived on this island.A free translation in english would be the "the island of goats". Regards Ioli
