View source for Common First Names

This page lists recurring first names observed across Sephardic and crypto-Sephardic family networks tied to the Zacatecas mining corridor.

* These names are not exclusively Sephardic.
* They are included due to frequency, repetition, and clustering within an endogamous network.
* Individual names are not proof of identity on their own.
* This page is shared to help others identify similar Sephardic naming patterns in their own family trees, particularly in this region.

* José - When I hit a dead end in the early 1800s on endogamous Sephardic lines, substituting José with Joseph consistently pulls up records that were otherwise hidden. This points to a deliberate Catholicization of the name in this region, rather than a break in the lineage itself.
* Juan - when it accompanies another Sephardic name on the list, such as Juan Mathias, Juan Joseph, etc.
