Phanariot (English spelling)

Japanese: ファナリオット(英語表記)Phanariot
Phanariot (English spelling)
The original meaning of the term was the inhabitants of the Phanar district of Istanbul (called Fener in Turkish, meaning lighthouse), but since many of the Greek merchant aristocrats who emerged in the second half of the 17th century lived in Fanar, centering around the Eastern Orthodox Patriarchate, the term came to refer specifically to this newly emerging class of aristocrats. There are about ten representative families (such as the Mavrokordatos, Morgis, Ypsilandis, Szos, Hangerlis, Callimakis, and Ghikas), who made their fortunes mainly through East-West trade, but not all of them were of Greek origin.

Japanese:
もとの意味はイスタンブールのファナルPhanar地区(トルコ語ではフェネルFener。灯台の意)に住む住民をさしているが,17世紀後半から台頭したギリシアの商業貴族の多くが,ファナル地区にあった東方正教会の総主教座を中心としてこの地区に住んでいたため,とくにこの新興貴族層をさすようになった。その代表的家族としては十指ほどあげられ(マブロコルダトス家,モルジ家,イプシランディス家,スツォス家,ハンジェルリ家,カリマキ家,ギカ家など),彼らはおもに東西貿易によって財をなしたが,そのすべてがギリシアの出身ではなかった。
