I found this list in "The Jewish Encyclopedia" (1904) of names still used at that time by Sephardi Jews around the world (e.g. The Balkans, the Turkish Empire) whose ancestors had lived in Spain until the Inquisition.
I'm surprised to see Cara here - I thought it was modern.
Which of these names are really antiquated and no longer used in Spanish-speaking countries, I wonder?
Any you like?
