The history of the last name Antebi

The surname ANTEBI has its origins in the Iberian Peninsula, specifically in the regions of Spain and Portugal. It is believed to have emerged during the medieval period, around the 12th or 13th century. The name is derived from the Spanish word "ante," meaning "before," and the suffix "-bi," which is thought to have been a modification of the Latin word "villa," meaning a small town or village.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the ANTEBI surname can be found in the Repartimiento de Sevilla, a medieval document that records the distribution of land and properties in Seville after the Christian conquest of the city in 1248. This document mentions individuals with the surname ANTEBI as recipients of land grants in the region.

During the 15th century, the ANTEBI name appeared in various historical records and manuscripts, particularly in Catalonia and the Balearic Islands. Some notable individuals with the ANTEBI surname from this time period include Juan ANTEBI, a merchant from Barcelona who traded with the Italian city-states in the late 15th century, and Juana ANTEBI, a landowner in Mallorca whose estate was documented in the records of the local nobility in the early 16th century.

The ANTEBI surname has also been linked to the town of Antequera, located in the province of Málaga, Andalusia. It is believed that some members of the ANTEBI family may have originated from this town or had connections to it, as the name bears similarities to the town's name.

One of the most prominent figures in history with the ANTEBI surname was Isaac ANTEBI (1535-1610), a renowned Jewish philosopher and mathematician from Seville. He is known for his contributions to the study of astronomy and his work in translating and commenting on important scientific texts of his time.

Another notable individual was Esther ANTEBI (1680-1756), a Jewish businesswoman from Livorno, Italy, who was involved in international trade and finance. Her correspondence and business records provide valuable insights into the economic and social life of the Sephardic Jewish community in the Mediterranean region during the 18th century.

In the 19th century, the ANTEBI name can be found in various records and documents from North Africa, particularly in Morocco and Algeria. David ANTEBI (1810-1892), a merchant and community leader in Tangier, Morocco, played a significant role in fostering trade and cultural exchange between the Jewish community and European powers during his lifetime.

While the ANTEBI surname has its roots in the Iberian Peninsula and has a rich history spanning several centuries, it has since spread to various parts of the world, carried by individuals and families who migrated or established themselves in different regions over time.
