I think that he has a Greek surname, with œkos meaning environment, nomy for science or knowledge, and the -des suffix is I think like -dis "son of". So, son of an environment scientist? This sounds very XXIst Century. If someone knowing Greek better than my poor school memories, I would appreciate...
Now, from a Japanese viewpoint, "X des" means "It's X" or "I'm X" or "my name is X" (this is one of the very very few words or sentences I know of Japanese). Then, as economy is I think a rather generally known word in Japan, Economides sounds like "It's Economy" or "I'm Economy"...
