Juan Mejia: There are cases of B'nei Anusim, either individuals or communities, appearing in Latin America, in the Iberian Peninsula, even in places like the Philippines: wherever the Spanish Empire expanded, there were Jews fleeing persecution, eventually their descendants are still around, some of which have kept a connection to this Jewish identity.

The names of families bearing coats of arms are also given [marked with asterisks].

Moment: Sephardic last names from this region often bear the imprint of centuries of religious persecution—a long trail of anti-Semitic fervor, forced conversions, Inquisitions into whether these “conversos” continued to practice Judaism, and expulsions. Surnames from the Iberian Peninsula can be divided into two groups: newer names adopted by conversos—Jews who converted, forcibly or not, to Christianity—and truly ancient names, belonging to families who remained Jewish. Names like Rodriguez or Enriquez are typical of the first group; they are common Spanish names that conversos took from “godfathers” responsible for their conversion. By the time these conversos returned to practicing Judaism, sometimes a hundred or more years later, many had forgotten their original names.
To make matters more confusing, some Sephardic Jewish families adopted aliases. In the 16th century, when conversos were at last allowed to leave Portugal if they wished, branches of merchant families fled to Amsterdam. Most maintained close economic ties to their families back in Portugal, essentially expanding the family business. When those who moved to Amsterdam converted back to Judaism, they often returned to their original, pre-converso names. But this created a fear that their families back in Portugal—still nominally Christian—would be targeted by the Inquisition if it became known that they had family members who had reverted to Judaism. Therefore, in business dealings with their relatives back in Portugal, these newly Dutch Jews often used aliases (“much to the dismay of the genealogist,” writes Avotaynu’s Sallyann Sack). For example, one ex-converso named Yosef Cohen became “Jeronimo Henriques.” When descendants of these Dutch Jews again dispersed throughout the world along commercial routes to Brazil, the Caribbean, the United States and elsewhere, they often simply adopted their aliases.

Spain was part of the Islamic world for nearly 800 years, so Islamic ornament was prevalent there through the continuity of local traditions, rather than the import of exotic art from the East. After the conquest of Granada in 1492 Islamic styles and techniques remained popular with the ruling elite. Luxurious palaces were created in which the architecture and furnishings were covered with Islamic designs. Sometimes rooms were crowned by magnificent marquetry ceilings like this one. Their construction method as well as their decoration continued an Islamic architectural form which emerged under the Nasrids, who installed many such ceilings in the Alhambra palace.

Notes:
KHAN GENEALOGY: In the Jewish cemetery of La Tablada, Buenos Aires, is buried some people with this surname [Daniel]. There are jewish families in Argentina with surname KHAN [Sebastian]
star_gazer: Khan is a popular surname among Pathan
UNKNOWN: As Pusthuns are from the children of ishaq, there is an element of relation between the Jewish surname Kahn or cohen. Khan is mainly used by the Pushtuns.
It is well known that the Cohanim were the priests and that this function was transmitted through the males. Since the Hebrew language does not use vowels, each country, each region coined its own variant of this surname. In France, one can find COHEN, CAHEN, CAEN, CAIN, but also COHN, KOHN, KAHN, KANN, KAHANE. In Russia, since the H is pronounced G, one finds KAGAN (and of course the derivative KAGANOVITCH) hence KOGAN or COGAN. In some countries, such as Alsace, COHEN became KATZ, an acronym for Kohen tsedek, "priest of justice"
"Dear Mr. Nathan Hamm,
Discovered a link to Registan that provides a transcript discussing the roots of Levi.
Just wondering if you knew of sources that list Khan as a Jewish surname.
Your feedback on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Respectfully,
