What does mean - Greek word maybe?

The phrase "mean" doesn't have a direct Greek equivalent as a single word. The meaning needs to be specified to find a suitable Greek translation. "Mean" can have several meanings:

* Average: The Greek word for average is μέσος όρος (mésos óros). "Mésos" means middle or average, and "óros" means limit or boundary, but in this context, it signifies the average value.

* Miserly/Stingy: Words like φειδωλός (pheidōlós) or άπληστος (áplēstos) could be used, depending on the nuance. "Pheidōlós" implies carefulness bordering on stinginess, while "áplēstos" means insatiable or greedy, implying stinginess through greed.

* To intend/signify: This could be translated using words like σημαίνει (sēmainei) which means "it signifies" or εννοώ (ennoō) which means "I mean" or "I intend."

* Angry/Ill-tempered: Greek has many words for this depending on the specific type of anger; θυμωμένος (thymōménos) is a common word for angry.

* The middle point (between two things): μέσος (mésos) itself is suitable here.

To give you a proper Greek translation, please clarify the intended meaning of "mean" in your context.
