[AZORES-Genealogy] The name Pimentel

Is that a Jewish name? I did find years ago which I can't find now a breakdown of names and their decent. I think it was areas of the island (Sao Miguel) that they settled in, but were from that particular religion or country that they descended from; i.e., Vila Franca (France). Does anyone have

Linda, I think some names are difficult to pinpoint. James Guill lists the name Pimentel as Galician in origin. You can check out "The Cross and the Pear Tree" by Victor Perera and probably get a different perspective. I'm sure there are many books with many different viewpoints on this. Cheri

The name is not necessarily a Jewish name. In tracing my line to Achada Grande I found no indication there is a New Christian in the records I have looked at which go back to the year 1700. Because you find some people using a surname that is Jewish does now mean the name is Jewish in origin. Durin

There's no "Jewish" Portuguese surname. When jews were obligated to turn into Christians ("Cristaos novos") they were baptized and adopt any possible surname. For almost any Portuguese surname we can find Christianized Jews (or Native Americans, or Afro-descendant slaves), without necessarily ma

Interesting to know this. I just thought I saw it somewhere that Pimentel did stem from the Jewish origin. Maybe they are Christianized Jews. Joao, my godfather and Great Uncle was Joao de Sousa married to Etelvina Lopes from Sao Miguel. Thanks. Linda Borges Furtado Norton

I would think of it in this context. How many African Americans use the Surname of Washington or Jefferson or other names which we associate with the slave owners that they were once owned by. Now obviously Washington is not an African name. Well neither are most of the Portuguese names Jewish.
