    I wonder what they had changed it from previous to the Greek name. Hopefully something that sounded too English.

      it was weirdly far back, but i think it might have actually been a family with a German name that got the kingship of Denmark and Greece, so actually Mountbatten might have also just been to get away from a German name as well.
