Does anybody know the country of origin for the Surname "Dacosta-Gomez" ?

[Congolese Rice]

Since i realized that my results were more hispanic/latino than i thought i immediately thought of my great grandmother, the mother of my grandfather on my mom's side, her surname is definitely hispanic so there's not much 2 think about there, she was probably born in Curacao, but we also have family from Colombia and Venezuela, could that also explain my high amounts of mediterranean ancestry? (34+%) what yall think?

[Kriptc06]

Da Costa is Portuguese, Gómez is Spanish or a misspelled Portuguese `Gomes`, or another variant.

funny that its written together and with a dash.

Costa means Coast, Of the Coast, Coast-side

Gomes/z seems to have germanic roots, from visigothic word guma + es/z meaning son of, so son of a man

Yup i know, it's very weirdly spelled. And also do you also happen to know if it has a frequency around the areas of Latin America? Like Venezuela and Colombia? cuz i heard i have family from there aswell

Da Costa was a surname common among Sephardi Jews of Mexico who came from Portugal, they later changed it to Acosta which is a surname majority found in Mexico than other Latino countries

I think your ancestors could've been Jews, but then again, they could've been Galicians, they have Portuguese sounding/spelling surnames

[Damião de Góis]

Dacosta - Butchering of da Costa ("da" is not capitalized, it means something like "of"), Portuguese surname
Gomez - Spanish

Dacosta-Gomez: no idea.

Hard to say so just by looking at the surname.. then again a remote possibility

Well they COULD have been jews, since i typically score around 6-20% middle eastern on all gedmatch tests excluding Ethiohelix cuz they do not work well for mixed people.

[Congolese Rice]

Could be indeed haha, but are there any specific tests you'd recommend for me to try out that distinguishes the jewish possibility from the portugese or such?

Gomez - Spanish

Well i'm not 100% sure if it was indeed spelled like that but if i recall correctly my aunts did say so. It could've also been another variation but i don't know, i have never really met Dacosta, unfortunately. I heard she was a very pleasant woman.

Idk much about that all but if i am correct she was born on Curacao, so that makes me think aswell.. However she doesn't really look that jewish to me because she doesn't have the classic jewish nose, infact you could compare her nose with that of an african. It's very broad and flat.

It's misspelled, it happens with frequency in the new world. Like for example Souza instead of Sousa.

As for knowing if it's from a portuguese or sephardic ancestor, 23andme or some gedmatch runs could give some clues.

Do you have a clue what 2 look out for when i am trying to trace down my portugese or potentional sephardi ancestry? Most likely Mediterranean ofcourse, but if i am looking for sephardim ancestry, they are middle eastern and thus they probably have high amounts of eastern mediterranean, amounts of arabic, and west asian don't they?

First thing to look at would be "Iberian" and "Ashkenazi" scores at 23andme. It's difficult to tell portuguese from spaniards genetically, so treat it as "iberian" for simplicity. As for sephardis i think they score some "ashkenazi" on 23andme.

Alright, well since i don't have no 23andMe i will run some Gedmatch tests and i will let you know if i have found anything that points that out, might take a while though since Gedmatch has alot of calculators <XD

Because if so it could indeed be true that they were jewish, some other people also said to me that sephardi jews with the surname Da costa Gomez moved to Curacao and set up a slave trade there???

However she doesn't really look that jewish to me because she doesn't have the classic jewish nose, infact you could compare her nose with that of an african. It's very broad and flat.

Curaçao from my understanding had a large Sephardi population
You can always look on 23andMe and see your Ashkenazi score,
On GedMatch see if you match with Jews, also see on 23andMe if you have relatives from Sephardic communities from North Africa, Middle East, and even Ashkenazi Jews. Also if you are matching with Mexicans, that is going to be another clue since Mexicans have the highest Sephardi Jewish ancestry in the New World

That's where i have a problem, i don't have 23andMe XD i used AncestryDNA unfortunately, however on ancestryDNA i scored 1-2% iberian peninsula, 3% middle east, and 2% central asia and 1% native american, however ancestryDNA weirdly enough is extremely unaccurate for me, it overestimated my african, it overestimated my european. (60% fucking FLAT british, how????) and it underestimated my asian, so i cant take their word for granted tbh.

[Damião de Góis]

It's difficult to conclude anything from those runs, but at first glance i don't see anything that hints sephardic. Try running Dodecad k12b:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1GWhNZcfTQ2hMSK9Ni1IqG7aXHB00SRE5L6ED2osPs9M/edit#gid=0

The main difference between portuguese and sephardis is north european and caucasus.

Well since my father was a white american of mainly european ancestry for all i know, my northern european will noticably be higher. Just wanted 2 make sure that you knew incase you started making conclusions from my results without knowing u know haha

Alright i'll try, but some specific Eurogenes test such as the EUtest will fuck up my score, but i'll check it out. I am not expecting a very high jewish percentage though if at all.

yeh i'm afraid it fucked up my score as i expected, i have no known scandinavian at all, and also xd as the Jtest is essentially the EUtest but only with a jewish allele or something like that, however idk my ashkenazi score isn't high at all.

But if you count the ashkenazi, east med, and middle eastern together you get a total of 7.27%. That's not alot at all haha

Alright i'll try, but some specific Eurogenes test such as the EUtest will fuck up my score, but i'll check it out. I am not expecting a very high jewish percentage though if at all.

very low, you likely have not recent jewish ancestry, getting a little is ok, not necessarily a jewish ancestor.

I get a lot more Meds and ashken

just for comparison, I do have sefaradi, distant but there.

Well alright that surely confirms it, the surname Dacosta-Gomez in my family is not descendant from jews then it seems, more likely portuguese or Galician like a few of my tests said haha, but how come my mediterranean is so low on this test though? All other tests give me results of like 21-24% mediterranean flat so i am confused

Each test has a different reference so they come with different results, this one seems not to include some european into mediterranean. rather Atlantic.

Aaah, that's what i thought so aswell. That would make alot of sense yeah because i don't recall myself being anywhere near that CLOSE to being northern european/western european, the highest i would score on those is like maybe 40% MAX. Anyways bro, thanks for helping me out here and helping me possibly figure out my hispanic/latino origins, because as you know knowing alot more about my family is very important for me. As it is for them because my mom's family is also mixed as hell, we have european, african, possibly middle eastern way back somewhere, iberian, italian, asian, it's insane in my family XD

O that's interesting yeah, you can clearly see that you do have some jewish in there as your ashkenazi is above the noise level aswell, you have 5% middle eastern and almost 4% west asian. Dang now i wish i had some jewish aswell haha. Very interesting culture

Yup sometimes it gets kinda annoying because it's hard for you to identify with any of your heritage if you do not know much about it and especially if you don't look like any of your parents, ppl also remarked i looked very puerto rican and or mexican so now i feel at peace because i know atleast almost 40% of my dna is from Iberia

Aw haha that's unfortunate, but atleast you can say with certainty that it's there xD like i can also notice it in my family that we aren't jewish at all because everything about my family screams (CARIBBEAN!) i am glad to be half Aruban from my mom's side i love the people here haha

But if i were to go around and tell people im african they would look at me from head to toe and just laugh XD Like i am too dark skinned to be european, i don't look REALLY that european and my hair is nearly black but it went from curly to straight so yeah. Pretty facktup

Yup it's just like that, people associate ancestry with looks. But you can be 100% southern italian in every way shape or form but if your hair is blonde and you have lighter skin and light eyes nobody will believe yo ass xd

I'm not on par with venezuela and colombia, but I'll ask another user here, one moment


Alnorte can you give us a hand here?

Dacosta-Gomez sounds Portuguese, but I don't remember that combination of Dacosta in only one word (instead of Da Costa) and Gomez ending with Z. Gomes would make more sense for Portuguese, but I might be wrong.
