    Obs:
    Now i have more information -

    1 is originally from Southern Portugal (Beja, Alentejo) and was spread also in Northern Portugal during Middle Ages, means "Moor or Moorish" and have a conection with the Reconquistadores of Portugal.
    1 Have origin in Medieval Iberia, and its the Galego-Portugues form of a Latin/Germanic/Celtic (Unsure origin) word for "Shepherd of Pigs", can have origin in Asturias, and some argue a possibly Jewish origin.
    2 Have a broadly Iberian origin with origin in Catholic Church, also some Jews adopted the name, also was comum in Slaves.
    More Details about my Bahian & Portuguese ancestry:
    Spoiler!
