Biography
early life
Stamos was born in Cypress, California. He is the oldest child and only son of Loretta , a former swimsuit model who was raised in England and Bill Stamos, a Greek immigrant and restaurateur from Paraguay. Stamos has two younger sisters, Jannen and Alaina, who are both teachers. His family's last name was originally Stamatopoulos (Σταματόπουλος) but his paternal grandparents shortened the name to Stamos after they moved to the United States from Greece. ('-poulos' is a common Greek suffix in surnames, meaning "son of"; 'Stamato-' is the root.) His maternal grandparents were originally from Ireland.When Stamos was a child, he was told mistakenly by his family doctor that he had a hernia. He underwent surgery, but it turned out that there was no hernia present, but the embarrassing thing for Stamos is, the procedure left him with an odd-looking belly-button, which he showed on Late Night with Conan O'Brien after O'Brien pressured him to do so.
