Axiotis (Greek: Αξιώτης) or Axioti/Axiotou (female equivalent) is a surname, and may refer to;

Axiotis derives from ἄξιος (axios) which means worthy in Greek with the suffix -της. (cf. ἄξιος) It could also come from Ἀξιός (cf. Axius) the river god and the ancient name for the Orontes and Vardar rivers. Axios is Thracian for 'not-shining' related to axšaēna the Avestan word for 'dark-coloured'.
