Charonda

vampire · Cyprus · Mediterranean

Not independently attested in folklore literature. No Cypriot vampire called 'Charonda' is recorded. The name speculatively conflates Charos (Charon), the Greek folk personification of death prominent in Cypriot laments, with the vrykolakas vampire tradition; no blood-drinking being of this name is documented in Cypriot sources.
