Best Answer

The full name of the character played by Telly Savalas was:

  • Theodopolous Kapsalis Kojak

The picture behind his office desk in the show was supposed to be his grandfather, Theodopolous, for whom he was named. The middle name, Kapsalis, was a tribute to his real mother, Christina Savalas. Kapsalis was her maiden name before marrying Nicholas Constantine Savalas.
