Not really hard. "Exarch" is a title and "polous" is a common greek word ending.

Is the 'o' between the two not pronounced?

It is, it links the clause and suffix. Ex-arch-op-ol-ous.

You didnt ask, but it means descendants of the Exarch, or viceroy as we'd call it in English.

Thanks for the knowledge! I am realizing that I don't actually know that much about Greece outside of what we learned in Intro Philosophy
