Title: The "sinister" meaning of last name Berdugo
Post by: ChabadKahanist on November 17, 2020, 01:03:49 AM
There are many Sephardic Jews with the last name Berdugo but I suspect that if they knew what the Spanish word berdugo meant they would run to change it as quickly as possible!!! Berdugo means executioner in Spanish!!!!!!!!

"Executioner" sounds like a perfect Kahanist name.

Better to have a last name that is executioner than a first name that is Mohammed.
